Formed by the creative duo Ivi Topp and Lis Araignée, Denuit’s music is a striking fusion of electronic rhythms and gothic elements. Their results of sound and vision are an immersive audiovisual experience that inhabits the space between the clarity of day and the mystery of twilight, blending tasteful cyberpunk visuals with the dark lyricism of Edgar Allan Poe to create a sound that is deeply emotional and raw. Their tracks, carved from their most profound emotions, explore the complexities of love and the wonders of life, celebrating the perpetual rhythm of human experience.
At the heart of their unique sound is what Denuit calls ‘Night-Wave,’ an auditory collage that weaves together the ghostly influences of Siouxsie, Zola Jesus, Zanias, and Kompromat. This blend creates a spectral atmosphere of sound, a harmonious interplay of darkness and light, crafting a melodic embrace of the nocturnal and the ethereal.
Now Denuit are included in the compilation album RainBoWarriors Vol 1, with their propulsive French language darkwave banger, Cendre.
Throughout the track, Lis’s vocals crack like a silk whip, resonating with an eerie quality reminiscent of ancient laments that straddle two realms, as though suspended in the fleeting magic of twilight, where visions of the other side dance in the sky like Aurora Borealis that flicker and pulse with every beat. This spectral realm invites us to confront our vulnerabilities, celebrate our deepest emotions, and emerge refreshed, unburdened, and ready to start anew. Ivi’s haunting electronic elements and deep bass lines anchor the arrangement while synthesizers pulse rhythmically, driving the song forward in a dance that pays homage to the stylish traditions of French Cold Wave and Darkwave, expanding their dark, rhythmic legacy into something contemporary yet with style distinctly Denuit.
The lyrics to the gorgeous Cendre express a profound sense of loss and mourning, reflecting on the physical absence of a loved one whose body is lifeless. The singer struggles with the grief that feels like rain on their face, forgetting the scent but vividly remembering the stormy gray eyes of the departed. The pain is described as an all-consuming wound, and time feels frozen in their longing for the loved one’s return. The theme of impermanence is echoed with the repeated imagery of becoming and returning to ash.
Topp and Araignée have extended their musical expression into the visual domain with their stunning and professionally shot DIY video, which throbs with the energy of a nocturnal rave. This visual piece, with its repeated motif of the sands of an hourglass, serves as a summons for the departed to partake in the healing process, addressing the profound grief of loss.
