Chloé Raunet is the Canadian-born, London-based artist making music under the moniker C.A.R. A former member of celebrated Kill The DJ band Battant, her music travels between strange electronics and off-pop. She is also co-host of the long-running Latete Atoto Show on NTS Radio. 

Her newest EP "Strange Ways", composed in the final dregs of 2016 follows a number of standout releases for such labels as Ivan Smagghe's Les Disques De La Mort, Kompakt, Watergate Records and Kill The DJ. 

Amnesia could be one for the dance floor. It's all about the 909 hi-hat and the track jacks its way towards a cheeky wink to Detroit. Title track Strange Ways taps into Chloe's vintage synth-driven pop sensibilities, drawing what she loves best from the genre - catchy but odd, hoovered down to the bare essentials. Finishing things off, All But ... is woolly and woven. Strings pluck and pull their way through a druggy fabric, overlaid with some heady lyrics.

Strange Ways EP

C.A.R. - Amnesia

As the gang marched the boulevard they cast a mean shadow upon the sidewalk. Shutters began to close fiercely up and down the high street in anticipation of violence. All but one... The saloon at the tail end of the street blared music proudly in a triumphant protest. They had opted to defend the town from the travelling troublemakers, the villainous vagabonds and terrible tyrants. Tumbleweed blew amongst the sand, and the red grains scurried in the breeze.

It is with much excitement that we are able to premiere a new track from C.A.R. The project of our close friend and writer Chloe Raunet, she needs little introduction.

PREMIERE: C.A.R. - All But [Self Released]

The self-released EP on C.A.R.'s bandcamp page, called 'Strange Ways' is out today! Title track Strange Ways taps into Chloe's vintage synth-driven pop sensibilities, drawing what she loves best from the genre - catchy but odd, hoovered down to the bare essentials.

PRÉMIÈRE: C.A.R. - Strange Ways

Choosing... Acronyms... Randomly ...
‘Layered, fascinating and irresistible’ - DJ Mag

‘Astonishingly accomplished … Many influences are on display, but C.A.R. connects them in a way uniquely hers.’ - Electronic Sound

C.A.R. (Choosing Acronyms Randomly) is a musical project conceived by Chloé Raunet, a multi-faceted creative living in London. Her self-confessed crush on too many genres results in a unique blend of glacial electronica, post-punk and warming, introspective pop. 

Following three albums on iconic, queer Parisian label Kill The DJ and UK’s Ransom Note, the live act now consists of herself and Joni Green. This latest combination champions female empowerment, injecting fresh energy and hype into the show. Together, they are building a reputation for pulsing, magnetic, sweaty and unforgettable performances. 

December marked another excursion into uncharted territory with the release ‘avant pop masterpiece’, Anzu. More new songs are tricking their way into the set, and C.A.R.'s next LP is on the near horizon.

A fan of the weirder edges of electronic music, Chloé also DJs and hosts the monthly 'On The Slip Road' show on NTS Radio.
