Sydney Valette new EP 7 of Sept

Sydney Valette. Chinese sign: fire tiger. A provincial childhood. At the age of 18, he moves to Paris to study philosophy. He rapidly loses himself in the dark rhythms of the capital’s nightclubs. He plays the piano in his tiny apartment. One day Sydney begins producing electronic music and speaking, screaming, crying, and singing into his laptop computer. His childish synth-pop-punk is poetic, destructive, and unique.

Inspired by Taxi Girl, Arthur Russell, and Depeche Mode, neither quite 1980 nor 2011, his music revives the informality that most modern pop music so sorely lacks. Sydney’s first album, Plutôt Mourir que Crever is an exploration of his subconscious life from mystical childhood to the vice and vicissitudes of adulthood.

A testament to 6 years of his life, it depicts the overwhelming emotions and obsessions that forged this unique artist. He is the tiger, Sydney Valette.

 

Dimanche is the first single from Sydney Valette’s upcoming album, Plutôt Mourir que Crever. The track is a post-party comedown anthem; a dance-infused, poetic prayer dedicated to celebrating the Lord’s Day. It has garnered Valette quite a bit of attention in the French specialized press. The b-side is Top 5000, a lo-fi instrumental piece that exudes both joy and melancholy. The three remixes bring new perspective to the single, infusing the original with a Caribbean minimalism (Second Date), a clubby darkness (Idle Thoughts), and a sweet and sour groove (Thieves Like Us).
