Tirons les fils, pour que ça bouge.
Cthulhu, Cthulhu
Lille’s electro-post-punk duo Dear Deer return with “Science-Fiction”, the dazzling title track from their forthcoming Sci-Fi EP. The song is a slice of bubbly synth pop laced with surrealism, retro mechanized beats, and dual vocals that shimmer between human warmth and robotic precision. Imagine Kraftwerk getting cheeky with Pet Shop Boys inside one of Björk’s Sugarcubes and Post laboratories — a meeting of circuitry and sensuality where rhythm replaces gravity.
The track bubbles with luminous energy: gleaming keys fizzing over rubbery basslines, while Claudine and Federico trade verses like coded transmissions. Their voices weave through glitch and groove, alternately mechanical and magnetic. It’s infectious, strange, and irresistibly playful — a vision of future pop filtered through the grime of a neon past.
Lyrically, “Science-Fiction” walks a tightrope between the grotesque and the divine. Its surreal verses — name-checking compost, Cthulhu, and combustion — dissolve the line between creation and decay. Claudine’s chant of “Si tu pars, je pars. Si tu meurs, je meurs. Si tu chantes, je chante.” echoes like a vow of mutual extinction, equal parts love poem and laboratory incantation. There’s humor in the horror, a wink in the apocalypse; Dear Deer turn rot into rhythm, obsession into orbit, their lyrics steeped in the alchemy of lust and entropy.
The video for “Science-Fiction” translates this warped sensuality into vivid, uncanny imagery. Directed by the band, it turns ordinary organic matter into something otherworldly: lemons corroding under cosmic light, fruit bursting like miniature planets, molten syrup twisting with alien motion. Between these hyperreal textures appear sculpted masks and bodies painted in metallic gloss — lovers poised at the intersection of desire and decay. It’s equal parts art installation, fever dream, and retro sci-fi vignette — evoking Cronenberg’s corporeal weirdness and the hypnotic color studies of Peter Greenaway.
Watch the video for Science-fiction below:
Dear Deer, the incandescent duo of Claudine Sourdeval and Frédéric Iovino fuse post-punk, disco, and electro into a feverish, danceable cocktail. With three acclaimed albums and an electrifying live presence across Europe, they turn every stage into a kinetic ritual of sound and sweat — a celebration of friction between flesh and machine.
Dear Deer continue to evolve with Sci-Fi, out now via Icy Cold Records. The EP oscillates between raw rhythmic power, hypnotic beats, and cosmic textures — organic yet calculated, intimate yet stellar. It’s both danceable and disorienting, a glamorous glitch in the post-punk continuum. Alongside the effervescent title track Science-Fiction, the release features the elegant Les Deux Piliers, the melancholic pulse of Depuis, the tongue-in-cheek Cinéma pour Nous, and the introspective Accessoire — each track orbiting the same strange sun of passion, parody, and propulsion.
