Fairy Pain is a musical project created by Alix Ardaillon (composer and performer) and Morgane Du Val (song writer and singer). Some of the lyrics deal with issues such as the opioid crisis, gender-based violence, cyber-harassment, mental and health issues... but the songs are not strictly political. It is more about the expression of a certain disenchantment and the exploration of a sense of “mal du siècle” or spleen. Mal du siècle is a term used to refer to the ennui, disillusionment, and melancholy experienced by primarily young adults of Europe's early 19th century. In our opinion, it is very close to the new wave genre itself.

We both are huge new wave/cold wave fans and we wanted to pay a tribute to this genre, rooted in contemporary concerns. We hope younger and older fans will be as excited as we are about these songs !
