Perte d'identite, which translates to "loss of identity," is the debut LP by composer, singer and poet Marie Davidson, one of the finest artists rising from the electronic dark-synth scene in Montreal. Her voice is a stark half-spoken monotone which will tell you stories from which you can't escape unchanged.
With a table of machines and pedals at her disposal the Montreal-based electronic artist gave this year's OBEY Convention its first full-blown dance party Friday night (May 27).
I don't do cold wave, I don't do techno, I don't do industrial, she told me ahead of Friday's gig at BAR in Rotterdam—her first time performing in the city.
