LUMIÈRE unveils a psychedelic music video for POINT.DE.FUITE before flying to France
Almost a year after the release of his debut album A.M.I.E.S.A.M.O.U.R, LUMIÈRE is back with a music video for the song POINT.DE.FUITE, a languid and orchestral track off the album. The release of the video marks the beginning of an eventful spring for LUMIÈRE. The singer-songwriter will be in France to open for Pierre Lapointe, and then will return to Montreal to present A.M.I.E.S.A.M.O.U.R, a colourful show that celebrates the first anniversary of his album at La Tulipe on May 28, 2022. He will also open for Pierre Lapointe at the Francos de Montréal at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier on June 12.
The video for POINT.DE.FUITE features LUMIÈRE camped out in a diner after a night of excess, showcasing a surreal aesthetic that adds a psychedelic layer to the hypnotic groove, intoxicating guitars and poetry of the song. This track is bathed in reverb and heavy orchestration. When we did it in the studio, it was a great moment, says Étienne Côté (aka LUMIÈRE).
David Bourbonnais, director of the video, made sure that the concept of the album was represented visually. "Knowing that this video would be the last one representing the album, we decided to come full circle and bring back elements from the three previous videos. So there are a lot of little easter eggs throughout the video. All of this is set in a comical, unsettling drug trip full of surprises, just as Alex Pelletier, who came up with the video’s concept, intended.”
Upon his return from France, LUMIÈRE will present A.M.I.E.S.A.M.O.U.R for the first time in a Montreal venue. In collaboration with director Solène Paré, the artist will celebrate the first anniversary of his concept album of the same name, released in May 2021 via Bonsound. The event will take place at La Tulipe on May 28, 2022 and tickets are on sale now. He promises “an evening of decay and rebirth to the glory of love and friendship" that will shed new light on the exuberant artistic universe of Étienne Côté (a.k.a. LUMIÈRE), his musicians, and the album's story. Other shows are also scheduled across Quebec this summer. See the list below for all the dates.
