Before the pandemic, she had achieved moderate success with her pop side project Renegade Breakdown, followed by Persona in 2021, a sort of dream pop mixed with French pop, an interesting exercise that still needed work to become a major work. Then\u2026 silence, soul-searching, attempts at reorientation\u2026 and a return to the fold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">In the spring of 2024, the Montreal native returned to the foundations of her art: an entertaining yet tragic self-analysis of artistic expression in the techno jungle, through a masterful use of references to techno, house, UK garage, jungle, drum &#8216;n&#8217; bass, breakbeat, French pop, synthwave, krautrock, dance-punk, gothic, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">The new show presented by Marie Davidson heralded her return to recording, a highly creative exercise that unified and transcended the familiar hallmarks of her art, accompanied by a firm commitment to addressing the most disturbing signs of the current situation, particularly the trend toward surveillance capitalism and all the authoritarian excesses that can be observed on this small planet. The added value of Marie Davidson&#8217;s dance floor offerings lies in her solid reflection on art and entertainment in 2025. Dancing, yes, but also thinking\u2014that&#8217;s what propelled Marie Davidson into the top ten finalists for the Polaris Prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=889167150\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"https:\/\/mariedavidson.bandcamp.com\/album\/city-of-clowns\">City Of Clowns de Marie Davidson<\/a><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back at the forefront of the global electronic scene, Marie Davidson released the excellent album City of Clowns in collaboration with her colleagues Soulwax and Pierre Gu\u00e9rineau.
