about
«I want to use moments of dancing to stimulate a bit of political awakening,» she says, and, speaking of her album in particular, (on which are scattered various samples of politically explicit content, as on the track The Movements which puts in abyss an interview of Angela Davis made with Amy Goodman for Democracy Now which develops the idea of intersectionality, which is according to her, the most relevant, powerful and contemporary way of approaching all discriminatory forms of policies and to combat them.
While Self Fulfilling Prophecy clearly aspires to raise awareness, it does so subtly, without ever relegating music to the second class. This is neither «ready-to-think» or «ready-to-dance», but an assembly of sophisticated rhythms, sounds and words that it are up to each listener to interpret in their own way. La Fraicheur does not seek to deliver a message, or impose a discourse, but to distill an idea and suggest a relationship to the world – a report to the world based on the affirmation of self and acceptance of others in all their differences.
Note from the director, Lucas Langlais, about The Movements «The music video offers a double dynamic vision of the lyrics: a typographical and rhythmic reading of these, supported by a mise en abime of images
of police violence distanced by the presence of characters / shadows in foreground. »
Left-field, visceral electronic excursions from Tunisian-born Deena Abdelwahed. Hot abyss of cultural ramifications, independent voice of eclectic sonic mysticism in the experimental, middle-eastern-influenced scene. Stéfan Németh
Like the soundtrack to a grand SF/horror movie, Versus builds tension quickly before spreading it across an epic soundscape. I try to minimise the number of genres in my collection, so have filed this as 'ambient', but it's a much more engaging listening experience than some would infer from that label. Rich Hims
