Description
Canadian DJ-producer Marie Davidson releases her sixth studio album City Of Clowns, made in collaboration with Soulwax and Pierre Guerineau (Essaie pas, LŒil Nu, Feu St-Antoine), via Soulwaxs own Deewee label. Earlier this year, Davidson debuted on the legendary Deewee imprint with her single Y.A.A.M. (Your Asses Are Mine), reuniting with the Belgian powerhouse Soulwax, who previously reworked Davidsons acclaimed Work It anthem. Her all-out blistering club cut Contrarian soon followed, evoking Davidson’s heavier Of Clowns, marks a return to the club but not as you know it. The techno thump and scathing spoken-word delivery of Working Class Woman resurface at points, but the pop structures and melodic sensibilities of Renegade Breakdown also remain. Its a strange sonic blend even by Davidsons own standards. Its definitely linking back to what I was doing pre-pandemic, but with a bit of an evolution, she says. I didn’t want to just repeat myself. The sound and the spirit of the album are shaped, too, by the fact that Davidson has a new antagonist. This time its not club culture thats coming for her sense of self, its Big Tech.
