Mina Tindle, born Pauline de Lassus, embodies a delicate, deeply personal brand of pop. After studying at Paris' La Sorbonne, she moved to Brooklyn, where she immersed herself in the musical effervescence of the early 2000s. It was here that she wrote her first songs before returning to Paris, where she unveiled EP The Kingdom in 2009, followed by the album Taranta in 2012, to critical acclaim both in France and abroad, supported by international media such as Pitchfork and The Line of Best Fit, and radio stations such as KCRW in Los Angeles and BBC Radio 6 in London.
In 2014, Parades, her second album, marked a move towards more sophisticated pop. This album, fuelled by multiple collaborations, accompanies a world tour that takes her on stage alongside bands such as The National and Bon Iver. She is also known for her participation in collective projects, notably the PEOPLE festivals in Berlin, where she and her partner Bryce Dessner will be organising a moving tribute to Lhasa De Sela in 2019.
In 2020, with SISTER, a more introspective third album recorded in New York, Mina Tindle explored more narrative and emotional textures. She has also contributed her voice to a number of soundtracks, including that of the César award-winning film La Nuit du 12.
