Marie Davidson is the magical nouveau Francophone coldwave unicorn the world has been waiting for ever since… well… Francophone coldwave stopped being a thing. The Montreal-based artist has been active in experimental acts like Les Momies de Palerme, Hotel Monochrome, DKMD, and
Essaie Pas, and in fact her husband and Essaie Pas bandmate Pierre Guerineau contributes guitar, vocals, and production at various points on Davidson’s new album, Un Autre Voyage. The followup to Davidson’s 2013 self-titled debut and last year’s Perte d’Identité (Weyrd Son), it’s out April 14 on Holodeck Records.
To rep the album, Davidson is hitting out on tour, with a handful of SXSW showcases (including the Tiny! Mix! Tapes! Official! SXSW! Flatstock! Stage! Showcase!), and a tour up the western part of the United States with fellow Holodeck labelmates BOAN. You can preview new track “Excès De Vitesse” (following January’s “Balade Aux USA” video) right here.
