Marianne Dissard's second 'official' album, "L'Abandon" (2011) was released in early 2011 to critical acclaim, including a series of Year's end Lists. Produced by Marianne, with Jim Waters (Jon Spencer) and BK-One (Rhymesayers, Brother Ali) "L'Abandon" was recorded with Christian Ravaglioli from Italy, Luke Doucet from Canada, Arthur Vint, Connor Gallaher, Sergio Mendoza, Brian Lopez and Thøger Lund. The release includes a companion DVD, a bawdy burlesque remake, directed by Marianne, of the Andy Warhol's 1968 western, "Lonesome Cowboys". Marianne took the album on the road for most of 2011, singing from New Zealand to China, Europe to Turkey.

Between Chanson and Americana, Marianne Dissard's enchanting debut album, "L'Entredeux" (2008), was produced and composed by Calexico's Joey Burns, with stellar contributions by friends from both continents, including Calexico's John Convertino on drums, Naïm Amor, Rob Burger, Sammy Decoster and Mickey Raphael. "L'Entredeux" was released worldwide in the Fall 2008, with 15 months of touring from Europe to New Zealand and North America. The album won a prestigious Coup De Coeur from France's Académie Charles Cros in 2009 and was voted in the Top 10 French albums of the decade by Francophile bloggers. "A moody, captivating album, with roots in Nick Drake's introspection, Francoise Hardy's romanticism and Nina Simone's drama." writes Blurt Magazine. A music video for "Les Draps Sourds" guest-features France's pop stars Katerine and Dominique A.
