With guitarist D.J. Barnes (Didier Esteban), Lizzy Mercier Descloux formed the performance art duo Rosa Yemen, and recorded an eponymous mini-album for ZE Records in 1978. The following year, ZE released her solo debut LP Press Color.

While the record did not sell well, she did tour the USA and Europe.
