The Swans “impresario” speaks about seeking understanding, the unsure future, and his collective’s last obelisk.
Like an asteroid crashing into a planet of industry-soaked mediocrity, Virginie B emerges on her second album with a glitch-pop fest that shatters conventionality. Volleying back and forth between contradicting themes—attention vs. oblivion, nature vs. technology—the Montreal-based expérimenteur forms an accessible yet introspective soundscape. With fractured production and offbeat lyricism, she crafts a world where harmony and chaos co-exist.
Positioning herself as somewhat of a Björk-like entity, Virginie B becomes both an alien and an oracle, urging listeners to confront the paradoxes of modern existence and find beauty in their dissonance.
