Marie Davidson & L'Œil Nu release a remix of Renegade Breakdown by Jessy Lanza and announce a tour

Marie Davidson & L'Œil Nu unveil today a remix for their signature song Renegade Breakdown, by Hyperdub stalwart Jessy Lanza. The original version of Renegade Breakdown is taken from the critically acclaimed album of the same name, released via Bonsound and Ninja Tune in September 2020. Jessy Lanza's remix kicks off the second instalment in a series of remixes to be drawn from their celebrated album. Remixes by Jlin and Morgan Geist have been released as part of the previous series and remixes by Tim Hecker and Young Marco will follow.

Jessy Lanza’s remix of Renegade Breakdown sees her pitching Marie’s original vocals up over a sub-heavy beat and skittering percussion. Speaking of how the remix came to be she says: I met Marie after sharing a stage with her in Montréal in 2016. Christie Sealey from Orphx introduced us and I’ve felt a kinship with Marie ever since. It’s such a pleasure to have a more intimate view of how she and L’Œil Nu build tracks. Playing with her vocals was such a privilege.

The Montreal-based trio formed by Marie Davidson, Pierre Guerineau and Asaël R. Robitaille also announces their first tour as Marie Davidson & L’Œil Nu. This includes numerous festival dates across the province this summer, several shows in the UK and France, as well as concerts at La Tulipe in Montreal on October 8th and the Axis Club in Toronto on October 15th.
