This is on a self-titled Pellarin EP that was released in 2004 by the net label Observatory Online.

Occasional drum machine kicks go doof, mournful chords come in, and funny noises gurgle and scratch about, speeding up and slowing down. The general vibe is super mellow. Repeating lines from a soft-voiced female singer loop about, often layered over each other. It all cruises along in that kind of vein, with the beats becoming bigger and developing further as it progresses. Hints of guitar come in towards the end.

Reminds me most of Björk's All Is Full Of Love, but if you don't like Björk's voice don't fret that the singer sounds like her.

I'm presuming this is "actually" a remix of Danish band Tiger Baby by fellow Dane Lars Pellarin. Not sure. Tigerbaby singer Pernille Pang shows up on a more recent and thoroughly awesome Pellarin-related thing, Pellarin & Lenler's 'Going Through Stages' from 2006.
