Experimental Pop Wizard MANU LOUIS Announces New Album, New Single Out + Extensive EU Live Tour!
Belgium born, now Berlin based musician and composer extraordinaire, Manu Louis announces a new album titled Club Copy for September 29th on Igloo Records.
Manu Louis is on EU/UK tour this fall to present his provocative and decontextualized juxtapositions live.
Today he revealed the first single Clone.
Manu Louis comments: "And here is Clone, the album’s first single that slips between slow motion hip-hop / house and sulphurous reggaeton, clearly inspired by Dostoevsky’s The Double. The narrator loses all hope when his double turns up at his start-up. The only relief will ultimately be to imagine that his boss, too, will end up replaced by a clone!"

New album Club Copy brings us a futuristic world dominated by standardisation, in which, your place on earth no longer matters. In Paris, Bangkok or Hanoi everything is the same. Visitors are doomed to find the same street, the same shops, playing the same music, frequented by people wearing the same clothes, made in the same places... However in one of these towns, a small oasis of resistance is emerging in spite of itself.
Club Copy, a small, outdated photocopying centre has been converted into an alternative venue.
Here, each photocopy generates new variations. Because of the obsolescence of the equipment and the technical incompetence of its managers, it is impossible to make a photocopy without deviating from the original.
Initially on the verge of bankruptcy, the shop soon becomes a new place of resistance for the freaks....
