The trip-hop performance moniker of one
Jean-Christophe Le Saoût,
Wax Tailor first emerged in the French electronica scene in 2004 (with the EP release Lost the Way), but didn't release his debut album until 2006. That debut,
Tales of the Forgotten Melodies, was a hit both in France and in the United States, garnering numerous iTunes sales, as well as making quite a dent on the CMJ charts that year. In 2007,
Wax Tailor returned to the spotlight with his second full-length,
Hope & Sorrow. Featuring vocalist
Charlotte Savary and
Ursula Rucker, this second album was enough of a success to warrant a number of live shows featuring
Wax Tailor and his four-piece band. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
