She Devils are a band out of Montreal that make exceptionally fun, intelligent post-punk that’s keen on reinterpreting vintage sounds. Today, the band has released a new video for “Hey Boy,” off of their upcoming self-titled record. The video feels like a throwback from top to bottom. From its background settings down to makeup styles, it evokes a style that’s of the past, and yet it doesn’t get lost to the point where they run on nostalgia. The synths and organic instruments wrap around each other for a sound that’s comforting, but running with undertones of weirdness. It’s a great take on the genre, one that sets them apart from the pack based on their sense of style.

Having released their debut four-track EP in January last year, The Montreal duo She-Devils are back with self-titled full-length record, out 19th May. To celebrate, they are serving us up a double whammy:check out the video for their lead track Hey Boy,

It was around four years ago that Kyle Jukka and Audrey Ann Boucher first joined forces under their united moniker “I think we’re linked souls on a shared trajectory toward an illusive and gradually shifting target, time had just woven together as creative partners before we could notice it happening,” says Jukka. Plugging in and followed this instinctive connection, the duo discovered their distinctive sound – like Dick Dale and Nico, should they ever meet in a lucid dream.

“Hey Boy” off our self-titled debut album, out May 19th on Secretly Canadian

She-Devils’ blend of glam, cabaret and French Ye Ye Pop has powers. Rumors of a full-length album release coming later this year notwithstanding, The Band had released last year’s Self Titled EP , But the above single will have to do for now. “I’ve always believed in the idea that if you visualize or summon something, it will come true,” explained vocalist Audrey Ann Boucher when prodded to describe how the sonic pastiche she presents as She-Devils came to be. This is truly unique, transfixing stuff.

She-Devils play six sets this year at SXSW,

Audrey Ann Boucher and Kyle Jukka are She Devils, a Montreal duo crafting intimate, dusty hybrid pop that searches for cosmic meaning in vintage sounds. The group has just signed to Secretly Canadian, their self-directed video for “The World Laughs.” designed by David Lynch Audrey hangs out in a clam shell, playing in the sand with her bandmate Kyle, a tortured mime in dreamy lighting.

Audrey explained how the concepts behind the track and its video. “‘The World Laughs'” is a song about synchronicity and personal commitment. I’m reaching out to someone who is synching with their inner negativity. I want to help them which is why I want to control them, I want to do it for them. In the video, Kyle plays this person, a Mere Mortal, victim of all waves coming his way — he is drowning one day, exalting the next. I play both the role of the misguided friend and the Master of the Universe, calmly detached but benevolent and patient. It’s very literal but you can also inject your own meaning into it. The truth is the world is yours and you are accountable for it.”

Tipped by Grimes,hear are a band from Montreal.She-Devils are an icy, untamed Montréal duo whose sample-heavy output made our jaws drop at the tail end of 2015. Singer Audrey Ann has one of the most mesmerising voices around, and there’s a dreamlike quality to their material that feels coolly cinematic

Simple but hypnotic retro-sounding 60’s cool pop that is constructed using samples. This young Montreal duo has been getting much buzz on blogs.

Extremely psyched to hear the debut single and the video from Montreal minimalist avant-pop duo Audrey Ann and Kyle Jukka, know as the She Devils. On their forthcoming EP, the group (who have been making waves in their hometown with their compelling gigs, brilliantly meld warped, exquisitely selected samples with Audrey Ann’s stark, swaying melodies to create deceptively simple jams that seem to draw from ’60s French pop, vintage surf rock, obscure exotica, and heartfelt dream-pop, resulting in something sort of modernly timeless and eliciting haunting, almost Lynchian dream sequence vibes. She-Devils claim to have “no interest in exhibiting any kind of refined musicality,” but “rather intend on creating impressions that burrow into the heart and imagination,” and they certainly nail the latter part of that mission statement on the sweetly trippy self-directed video for the hypnotic and infinitely replayable “Come“:

We made a video! We’re announcing an EP! We’re going on tour!

This is my official statement about the video hehe :
Visually Kyle really likes 90s TV and I’m more into 50s glamour, I’d say thats what went into this video. We shot it in my bedroom with the help of a couple friends (Neil Corcoran, Devon Welsh.) It was simple and very fun and I think it shows. Both of us love cinema and are acutely affected by colours. It was our first time making a music video. It feels really good to make something visual that is in harmony with our music.
