Svijene melodije prolaze kroz rupe u zidu napravljene mecima.
Montréal is a hotbed these days for forward-thinking music. Marie
Davidson is a local mainstay, a member of Essaie Pas, Les Momies de
Palerme, & Hotel Monochrome, but on her self-titled debut still
manages to take an adventurous turn. Cold electronics ride shotgun with
minimal, stripped-down beats providing the ideal counterpoint to
Davidson's always potent vocal delivery.
Half sung, half spoken, and all in French, Davidson's vocals ride darkly along the same current as Nico's, twisting obtuse melodies through synthetic cracks. "Ma vie sans toi" is steeped with rhythmic stomp and electronic flourishes while her voice rises in confident detachment, as with words read from a book; the bewitching effect of a true chanteuse, which Davidson surely is. The only instrumental cut on the album, "L'unique" looms like a menacing spire in the distance, swimming in Carpenter-esque soundtrack tones. The album ends with "A l'interieur", a seven-minute long excursion through cavernous synth echoes that still manages to stand out through every listen. Taken together, Marie Davidson's debut is a surreal document, cryptic but full of endless promise.

Marie is part of the vibrant La Brique collective in Montréal, QC, and also plays in Les Momies de Palerme, Hotel Monochrome, DKMD, and Essaie Pas. Her solo work first came to our attention when a track of hers appeared on Silent Land Time Machine’s OCT 2012 tour mix tape, and we’ve been pinned to the floor ever since.
Now accepting orders via the STORE // digital download available at the HOLODECK Bandcamp and all fine digital retailers.
If you didn’t catch the video for her single, Esthétique Privée, click the link and turn the lights off, this video works best if it’s DARK.
