FHANG Shares Surrealist Video for FLEUR DU MAL (via Hidden Ship)

A white horse dances in place, a shadow crawls across the ceiling, a man on fire emerges from a lake. Welcome back to the world of FHANG, the up-and-coming duo from Montreal. 

Through ritual and visuals straight out of Twin Peaks, FHANG offers us another portal to enter their universe with their latest music video, FLEUR DU MAL. Gentle vocals guide us through surging crescendos, evoking the sensation that maybe we've been in this dream before. 

FLEUR DU MAL acts as a gateway to FHANG's self-titled album, released earlier this year. It forces us to confront how we can refresh our capacity for wonder while the supersaturation of endless change dulls our senses.

We were able to catch the duo live at this year's FME, and we were just as much enchanted by their live performance as their recorded work. You can read our interview with FHANG here.

Julia Daigle Shares Glittering New Album "Un singe sur l'épaule" (via Lisbon Lux Records)

Julia Daigle (member of the duo Paupière) has released her album "Un singe sur l'épaule" via Lisbon Lux Records. The album is a collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Dominic Vanchesteing. Drawing on Kate Bush, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and even some krautrock, glittering psychedelic melodies carry Julia's latest body of work. 

The song Nanette was inspired by the biography of Nanette Workman and the energy of New York City. Julia whispers, "Fifth Avenue dans l'infini Sous les néons, les dieux sourient." It's the perfect soundtrack for your weekend adventures and your "I'm The Main Character" playlists. 

The video for Nanette is inspired by The Star, Arcanum XVII of the Tarot de Marseille and the work of Henry Corbin. It's an excursion into a haunted landscape, an emotional labyrinth that has become physical, where a figure retraces, in an infinite ring, the path of her inner wanderings. In this liminal space between night and dawn, she wanders through strange - and unexpectedly familiar - places in search of a sign, a key. Territory without landmarks of the exile of the heart. 

For fans of Melody's Echo Chamber, Wild Nothing, and TOPS, Julia's Daigle's "Un singe sur l'épaule" is for you.
