Renegade Breakdown
Marie Davidson is back with new album ‘Renegade Breakdown’ on Ninja Tune. A new band, and a bold new sound under the banner of Marie Davidson & L’OEil Nu, it is a trio formed of old-time friends with shared roots in Montreal’s DIY scene: Marie, Pierre Guerineau (also in Essaie pas on DFA) and Asaël R. Robitaille.
The record follows previous album ‘Working Class Woman’ and the trio deliver a forward-facing, innovative pop record that builds on the classic tenets of Marie’s music to create something that strikes out towards a broader audience. With dark humour and interpolated musical influences from Fleetwood Mac to Kraftwerk, Billie Holiday and Chet Baker. If there’s a mood that encapsulates ‘Renegade Breakdown’, it’s the one found at 3AM after a long night, when it’s time to start putting on the classics.
