Absinthe, also known as Absinthe – The French Album, is the eighth studio album by the British singer/songwriter Marc Almond. It was released by Some Bizzare in October 1993.
According to the writer and poet Jeremy Reed in his biography of Almond, The Last Star, "Almond largely at his own expense worked on the songs between 1986 and 1989 at Milo Studios".[1]
The album is considered the companion piece to Jacques and in a similar vein contains cover versions of French songs that have been had their lyrics translated into English by Paul Buck.[2] The album contains liner notes by Buck explaining the origins of the songs and the reasons for their inclusion.
