history
From Helsinki Dating Emma Kemppainen produced from 2006 first pieces they on their Myspace published page. After initial positive feedback on the pieces, she performed with her sister Mia, who had studied classical guitar. The third to join the band was Malin Nyqvist, who had learned the piano from their early teens.
As the name for the band, they chose the French translation of Francoise's thin body , which goes back to Nyqvist's deceased, anorexic cat.
After the music industry became aware of Le Corps Mince de Françoise through posts in music blogs, a first record deal followed with a British music label.
In 2008, their first single Ray-Ban Glasses was released on the New Judas record label.
In January 2009 Emma Kemppainen moved to Berlin. After differences with their previous management and considerations to return to Helsinki, Malin Nyqvist left the band. Since then, the two sisters have only appeared as a duo.
In 2011 the first album by the band Love & Nature was released on Heavenly Recordings.
