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.
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.
