CAOUTCHOUC is Jessie Marino & Serge Vuille. The project started by attempting to do research on dams, water passages and flooding. What resulted is their debut album "Les Castor" a series of spoken songs detailing delightful stories, letters and facts about-well - Beavers!

Jessie Marino & Serge Vuille delight in the discovery of everyday wonders and make songs about them. From Beavers to archival letters to complaints about a package of peas.
