Essaie pas:
“Futur parlé” Video

Directed by Christopher Royal King.

Montreal electronic duo Essaie pas, comprised of Marie Davidson and Pierre Guerineau, make a welcome return with their new single “Futur parlé”, the first taste off their forthcoming new album. Speaking about the track, Essaie pas say: “We decided to conceptualize this one based on Philip K Dick’s work, by paying tribute to his classic novel ‘A Scanner Darkly’. You will hear Marie’s tripped-out pseudo-scientific verbiage in the spirit of the book’s bleak but humorous dialogs, over hypnotic pads of strings, punctuated by dramatic stabs and sensual rhythmic patterns.”

The single “Futur parlé” comes hand-in-hand with a video that brings this modern interpretation of “A Scanner Darkly” to life, merging rushes of surveillance and drone cameras, abstract digital landscapes, and facial recognition software.

The single “Futur parlé” is out now on DFA Records. Buy it here.
