After their single Swimming Pool - over 63 million plays on Spotify and a major hit on Tik Tok, the now platinum-certified independant French band Marie Madeleine is back with a new Disco Wave track. 

Again is a dark, powerful duet driven by an incendiary bass riff and hypnotic arpeggio synthesizers. Leaders and couple in life Diana Kill and Alfred Moon play a love story flirting with madness. This is their essence: his deep, brutal singing contrasting with her clear, enchanting voice. Darkness and sensuality The lyrics pose probing questions : How do we escape the prisons we build for ourselves? Where does our recklessness lead us?

This new track is a Dark Wave and Gothic mirage with 1980s vibes, a perfect soundtrack for dancing and crying at the same time.

With their music resonating most strongly in American territory, the band will unveil "Again" on March 15th.

Mixed in the legendary One Two Pass It studio, the track echoes the sonic alchemy of elegance and power found in the music of artists like Lebanon Hanover, Desire, Mother Mary, Jane Leo, The Rapture, Caribou, Yacht, L’impératrice, La Femme and Orville Peck.

traverse is proud to announce the release of its first record - a compilation of six tracks from various artists, inspired by Pembroke King’s poem moving silhouettes, written for this occasion.

As the fourth volume of the compilation series “traversée”, moving silhouettes encourages artists to explore all corners of listening music and creative avenues that aren’t tied to any one convention. 

Pembroke King’s poem sheds light on the mood of the compilation, and even though each artist brings its own interpretation of it, there is a beautiful harmony of it all - from Kate Miller’s atmospheric sounds to Teqmun’s drums-made-of-rain-drop-recordings or Ghjuliú’s nostalgic melodies, the listener travels around Pembroke’s words with each track. 

As our first physical release, we feel honoured to collaborate with artists who have been involved in a way or another on traverse before such as Officium, Mika Oki and Alohn, but Kate Miller, Teqmun, and Ghjuliú, that we’ve been keeping close to our heart for a long time already.
