Naomie de Lorimier, better known as the experimental pop songwriter N NAO, has gone full electro on her latest, freaky autotune-led synthscape single, “Pleine Lune.” Dropping on Nov. 15 is no coincidence since it is in fact a full moon, and this follow-up to the fragmented dance bop “Corps,” feels like it should be reverberating off the walls of SAT during an energy-fuelled 3 am MUTEK night.
Being inspired by an essay on women in film titled The Monstrous-Feminine (because nothing is ever straightforward with N NAO) “Pleine Lune,” has a post-human quality to it, following the story of a cyborg woman’s love for nature. N NAO even adds in a few screams and whispers for an atmospheric effect.
The single comes with a video on analog footage by Charline Dally that sometimes feels like it’s in the world of Phillip K. Dick’s rotoscoped A Scanner Darkly.
