I'm currently listening to the new album Terre Neuve by Brigitte Fontaine, who could in some ways be considered the European Yoko Ono. Like Ono, she's an octogenarian, and like Ono she's still making music that's pretty radical and creative.
Fontaine is best-known for her seventies albums with her French-Algerian partner Areski Belkacem, which offered weird and experimental acid-folk with ethnic elements, but her more recent albums are psychedelic in a different way: I can hear similarities to Yoko Ono, Beck and a number of other indie and neo-psych artists. Topped off with her unique vocalisations, Terre Neuve is a fascinating album, and definitely worth checking out.

Is Vendetta fairly typical?
Not sure what to make of it. It's interesting in a chin strokey kinda way but not sure I could fall in love with it

That's pretty typical of the album as a whole, and of her modern style in general.
She started out in the mid-sixties, doing oddball chanson-type stuff, then moved towards free-jazz in the late sixties, then adopted more of an acid-folk style in the seventies, before gradually moving towards her current style.
