In their latest album, LOVE Violence, France’s Denuit dismantles the binary between passion and pain, exposing the ligature that binds them with all the grace of a lightning strike. Love here isn’t languid: it thrashes, trembles, and tears. Drawn from detours through Brazil, Portugal, Germany, and France, the record reads like a dispatch from love’s many frontlines, soaked in sweat and sentiment. Denuit fuse their shadow-lit electronics with a scalded edge of rock, lacing synth-driven ceremony with ragged crescendos and smouldering melodies. Voices stretch beyond previous limits, wavering between a whisper and a warning. It’s a record fed by friction, stitched with struggle, and swollen with spirit…a howl against the dull flattening of nuance. Imperfection is not a flaw, but the fulcrum; contrast, not comfort, is where colour lives.
The latest single from the album titled “nocturnal VISION,” featuring Swedish electronic music artist Emmon, unfolds like a dream beneath a moonless sky. In this space, the cosmos swells and collapses, enveloping everything in the crackle of fire and a lone spotlight. As the ebb flows, the speaker drifts, their gaze shifting inward and then outward. This moment signifies a surrender, where the self dissolves into the night. Lis’s voice fractures like light through glass—thin, timeworn, and wavering between the earthly and the celestial. Her tones linger like prayers lost to the wind. Below this, the song’s bass and synths create a tight, cold mechanical throb, woven from elements of French minimalism and the mournful march of modern darkwave.
Directed by Denuit, the video cloaks itself in subtle surrealism: shadows fall softly, a red puffy heart tethers the weight of memory. No allegories, no clear path; only the ache of transience. Time here isn’t measured, but mourned. Beauty refuses to be held. The track vanishes, yet its vapour lingers like breath on glass, like dew on a bloom already wilting.
