ALBUM RELEASE DATE: 11th September
LABEL: Lisbon Lux Records
Disco synth-pop band Le Couleur have shared the Live At Home video for their track, ‘Silenzio’ via Lisbon Lux Records. The song is taken from their upcoming album, Concorde which will be released on the 11th of September. The band have received significant support across the globe, having been featured in publications such as The Fader, Noisey, All Music, Flaunt mag, Brooklyn Vegan, Exclaim!, mxdwn, Atwood Magazine, Beats Per Minute and NOVU amongst many others. The trio are currently sitting at over 10.9 million plays across streaming platforms with features on noteworthy Youtube channels i'm cyborg but that's ok and David Dean Burkhart contributing heavily towards that number. Le Couleur has been nominated multiple times and won the GAMIQ prize for the ‘Best Electronic EP of the Year’ while their latest album (P.O.P) was selected among 40 Canadian albums on the Polaris Music Long List. The band have toured internationally multiple times, having performed at SXSW, FEQ, Osheaga and Liverpool Sound City
Currently based in Montreal, Canada, Le Couleur is led by Vietnamese-Canadian singer Laurence Giroux-Do and consists of Laurence, Patrick Gosselin (Bass, keyboard and guitar) and Steeven Chouinard (Drums and sequence programming). The group are all educated musicians, each taking their time to pass on their skills to students looking to learn the art. Le Couleur has a fondness for the UK, stating that they will never forget the festivals they’ve played there while also attributing some of their favourite bands to the area.
When finding inspiration for their sound that crosses the borders of synth-pop, nu-disco and French pop, Le Couleur turns to the likes of The Beatles, Bowie, Steroalab, Queen, Led Zeppelin and LCD Soundsystem. Their own remarkable sound draws closer parallels to the likes of Róisín Murphy, ABBA and Sébastien Tellier.
Shot in the self-isolation style necessary of current times, Le Couleur presents the Live At Home video for their song, ‘Silenzio’. The track, lighthearted and gentle listening, is played off against an array of colours and image distortions. Adding the personal element and giving rare insight into the performer’s lives, the video allows for unique creative freedom to take place while recording. The result is awash with positivity and cheer.
