Out Now! - https://ransom-note-records.lnk.to/CrossingPriorStreet

@C_A_R’s new album ‘Crossing Prior Street’ merges gritty dance music with esoteric pop, telling the story of escaping a broken childhood in Vancouver, and finding her way to the lonely streets of East London, at the tender age of 16. Endorsement of the personal journey, it’s an album dedicated to restlessness; a mechanism for tackling unresolved conflict, with others and within herself.

C.A.R. - Crossing Prior Street [Ransom Note Records #23]

London residing, Franco-Canadian Chloé Raunet aka C.A.R. has been immersed in the world of post-punk, cold wave and her own brand of off-kilter synth-pop since the days fronting her band Battant. Playful, machine-driven and dark, C.A.R.’s music travels between glacial electronica, post-punk and warming, introspective pop, all emanating from a self-confessed crush on too many genres.

This is the first new material to emerge from Raunet under her C.A.R. moniker since last year’s triumphant and critically acclaimed PINNED album - her first outing on Ransom Note Records. Growing with confidence and maturity with every release, her output continues to expand in both ambition and depth, exploring the outer reaches of left of centre pop.
Taking on the mantle of producer, singer, and songwriter once again, Pressure Drop sees her delve deeper into the shimmering, layered world of synth-laden, shoegaze electronics she’s been hinting at on previous outings

In the loneliness…

“Pressure…. Drops.”
We’ve kept the remix action short but sweet this time around - i.e. not 14 remixes of one record.
Uber remixer extraordinaire Suzanne Kraft re-treats Raunet’s vocals, twisting the track into a brooding, bubbling, late-night, dance floor thing of beauty.

“Stop my heart it runs ahead, like a dog it barks, roll over, play dead.”

Second original track on the EP ‘Suture’ sees her explore the further depths of Raunet’s soul, refining her palette with glimmering, claustrophobic electronics.

This new material - packed with intricate left turns and tiny details flickering away at the edge of hearing - has been mixed by Daniel Avery collaborator Ghost Culture and mastered by Keith ‘Radioactive Man’ Tenniswood

Pre-Order Album

C.A.R. - Sore Loser

He dragged his feet along the ground, kicking up the stones underfoot. It wasn't the outcome he'd hoped for, he thought he'd come out on top. For weeks he'd been planning how to win her over and sweep her off her feet. But it was too little too late. He'd waited too long and now she'd slipped through his fingers. He wished he had somebody else to blame...

In all the excitement of announcing C.A.R.'s second album on Ransom Note Records, we overlooked the incredible remix of 'Sore Loser' from Manie Sans Délire's Trenton Chase. Stripping back most of the vocals, he morphs the track into a hypnotic wave cut, propped up by driving synth lines. Crossing Prior Street will be released on 27th March with further remixes from the likes of Radioactive Man, Trenton Chase and Anna Wall...
