Reymour - Leviosa (Knekelhuis)

WHAT THE COVER LOOKS LIKE:

WHAT WE SAY:

With a nonchalant shrug & sweet but deadpan vocal that gives Germanic countries a bad romantic reputation in the south, Reymour explore synth & other vintage waves, reimagine chanson, digitise the waltz & stand about flicking their fringes near loads of old synths to fine effect for Knekelhuis.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY:

Reymour packed their bags in the pre-Alps of Switzerland and left to start a new life in Bruxelles. This debut album finds originates in this transition, again in a bilingual environment, by now a Knekelhuis theme. Leviosa documents the emergence of a kind of dance built from chansons, synthpop and cute minimal wave. Luc Bersier’s wide musical spectrum reaches great heights while staying small. He creates the musical bedrock on which Reymour’s cabinet of musical curiosities rests, allowing us to drift away on the unctuous fumes of Lou’s vocals. On these tracks she covers a wide array of feelings, of doubt, sexual orientation, play and melancholia. And it all comes together in the reflection of life. Close friend and family guy Low Bat contributes vocals and gameplay on 2 of the album’s tracks.
