A year after the release of her debut solo album LES MANIÈRES DE TABLE, which earned her a spot on the Polaris Music Prize Long List, Annie-Claude Deschênes (Duchess Says, PyPy) unveils Main de Fer.
On Main de Fer, Annie-Claude Deschênes fuses minimal techno with avant-garde to trigger a disorienting exploration through emotional isolation. An invisible grip engulfs the mind and erases the contours of the self, leading to a silence where breath is extinguished as the soul dissolves in the shadow of control. Its disturbing soundscapes and fragmented textures challenge the blindness of the self and others, offering us the opportunity to free ourselves from our inhibitions in a controlled chaos.
