Laurence-Anne reveals a new music video for 'Vitesse' and announces Mexican tour dates
Laurence-Anne, the captivating dream pop artist hailing from Montreal, unveils an eerie new music video for 'Vitesse', the lead single from her recent album Oniromancie, that is out now via Bonsound.
Delving into the realms of night, dreams, and imagination, Laurence-Anne weaves hypnotic dream pop, cold wave, and synth-pop elements into a mesmerising tapestry, sung in English, French, and Spanish. She sculpts musical landscapes composed of haunting melodies, lush synthesisers, synthetic rhythms and hazy textures, all coated with her voice capable of instilling both comfort and anxiety.
Her recent album Oniromancie, received praise from the likes of BBC Radio 6, BBC Scotland, The Line of Best Fit, BrooklynVegan, The Independent, Under The Radar, Exclaim!, Billboard Canada and more.
Laurence-Anne reflects on her recent album, celebrating the record with the new video directed by Didier Pigeon-Perreault, the music video shows Laurence-Anne anxiously attending a rodeo event that gets weirder as the sinister environment becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. "Oneirism and realism are the two worlds I wanted to bring together in the video", says the director. "Coming from a cinematographic practice that mixes documentary and fiction to confuse the viewer between what's real and what's fake, I wanted to work with real footage while using a visual style that comes close to fiction".
The video’s monochrome colour scheme, peculiar setting and frantic pace mirror the stress, anxiety and darkness channelled by the song. "That's why I decided to set the action in a rodeo that looks neither Québécois nor American, a place of which the identity remains unclear, adds Didier. Laurence-Anne is witnessing a show that’s trying to get under her skin, but she can't figure out whether it's for good or evil."
Laurence-Anne will play at L’Esco in Montreal as part of Taverne Tour on February 8th. After that, she will go to Mexico for a series of concerts, including a performance at FIMPRO in Guadalajara on February 28th. This short tour will also take her to Mexico City, Aguascalientes and Querétaro. See the list below for all tour dates, including more shows in Quebec.
