Laurence-Anne releases the distressing single Vitesse two days before the release of Oniromancie, her third album
Today, Laurence-Anne unveils a new facet of her dream world with Vitesse, the fourth single from Oniromancie, her third album. This new song follows Polymorphe, Politesse and Flores released earlier this year. Due out this Friday, September 8th on Bonsound, Oniromancie will be celebrated with launch shows at the Sala Rossa in Montreal (as part of POP Montreal) on September 28th and at the Pantoum in Quebec City on September 30th.
With its fast-paced rhythm and anxiety-inducing atmosphere, Vitesse evokes the panic of an unshakable nightmare. Laurence-Anne drew inspiration from a vivid bad dream for this song, but also from the European coldwave scene of the '80s, particularly the seminal French group Martin Dupont.
In this dream, the singer-songwriter travels at full speed through chaotic landscapes in search of the source of the havoc. This suffocating pursuit is conveyed through distressing synthetic textures, with Laurence-Anne's voice entangled in thick layers of synthesizers and the untamable cadence of the drum machine.
In addition to her two album launch shows, Laurence-Anne will be opening for electro-pop duo Milk & Bone for a few dates this fall and in winter of 2024. Last spring, she performed at several UK festivals, including Wide Days (Scotland), Liverpool Sound City (England) and Focus Wales (Wales), as well as playing a concert in London. Her previous singles have been broadcast on some of the country's most influential radio stations, including BBC Radio 6 and BBC Scotland, and have garnered attention from numerous publications including The Independent, Brooklyn Vegan, The Line of Best Fit, Soho Radio and Under the Radar. Check out the list below for all her upcoming show dates.
