The French-Canadian duo ESSAIE PAS ("DON'T TRY" in French) have chosen Peek-a-boo Magazine to unveil a brand new track, "Devotion", which will be on their forthcoming album "Nuit De Noce", due to be released in November by the French-Belgian label Teenage Menopause Records.
This Montreal based electronic duo is composed of Marie Davidson and Pierre Guerineau. Davidson has been a poet and active musician since 2006, dedicating herself to such projects as Les Momies de Palerme, Land of Kush (Constellation Records) and DKMD (Fur Trade Records). Guerineau, a self-taught musician and sound engineer, has contributed his studio skills to producing a list of artists like Dirty Beaches, Femminelli, Avec Le Soleil Sortant De Sa Bouche (members of Fly Pan Am), Bataille Solaire and Low Factor, among others. ESSAIE PAS offer “a feverish atmosphere, a psych, dark and sexy analog sound, and a unique universe” influenced by Film Soundtracks, Blues-Rock, No-Wave, Nu-Disco and Ambient music.
ESSAIE PAS together with MUSHY and Marie Davidson (solo set) at the London Calling in Brussels on 21st November. Check the event page.
ESSAIE PAS on Bandcamp and Facebook. On Bandcamp, the release date (2011) of the album is wrong: the album will be released in November 2013.
No words needed, just watch the latest clip by this legendary French coldwaveband....
The German electronic act Junksista has joined up with the upcoming director Fabio Soares for their newest video which is available now on YouTube. The "Life Is Unfair (And Love Is A Bitch)" video offers a modern take on various Brothers Grimm fairytales with the catchy electro dance track as red line. Shot in a forest near Ulm (Germany) the video acts also as a teaser for Junksista's new album "Bad case of fabulous" which will hit the streets on November 8th via the Alfa Matrix label.
Says Diana: "With the video we tried to show that love can be consumed like candy - it's a quick pleasure for some. When it's 'done' they simply move on to the next sweet thing. Others lose their heart over it."
Hailing from Southern Germany, Junkista consists of the producers duo Boog & Diana. The duo offers a fresh and electric mix of catchy electro tunes, sexually explicit lyrics, sensual half-sung half-spoken female vocals, funky guitar riffs and tons of bass and synthesizer filled grooves.
French director Fabio Soares rose to fame recently with the "Woman With No Name" short film featuring Laura Satana, Arben Bajrakataraj ("Harry Potter") and french cult actor / singer Bernie Bonvoisin. Since Junksista did the soundtrack for that short film, Soares was no stranger to the band's sound.
The second EP off the successful album ‘Automation Baby’ aims straight at dance-floors, radios and playlists around the globe. Typical Mesh hooks, beats and melancholic moods, just a bit more catchy and enjoyable. Mesh’s world-class Electro-Pop with a dancefloor twist, and melodies that go right into your ears – and happen to stay there for a long time.
The Radio edit was produced by Nico “MABOOSE” Wieditz (And One), who also completely deconstructed the original for a more danceable club version. The result is sure to fill electronic dancefloors in no time.
Also Rob Dusts gritty and beat-ridden remix of Adjust Your Set will appeal to the uncompromising Electro-DJ. The package is topped off by the exclusive B-Side “Walk of Shame”, what makes this EP a sure collector’s item for fans, as Mesh have done it again: The B-Side defies its name in terms of quality. A strong second single!
