November (Instrumental) PRIVATE LISTEN LINK: http://tiny.cc/4vtfhz OVERVIEW: French duo Double Mixte bring their digital thunderstorm of neon lit noire to the Italians Do It Better family on their debut EP. Mixed & produced by label head Johnny Jewel, Romance Noire opens the door to a new wave of Italians Do It Better artists coming in 2019. Fresh Blood. New Tears. The title track arpeggiates & boils as waves of bass flow beneath. Rhythms are carried to the ceiling by a searing cascade of disintegrating color. A heavy backbeat anchors Clara Apolit™s poetry, ready to wear for a night in the face of oblivion. The cinematic šArlette› is a call for discovery through a darkness lit only by the glare of headlights in digital rain. Through all of this, Thomas Maan™s incantations search for the lonely, lost in the void of electronic fog. šNovember› finds in Clara an Anglophonic chanteuse, meditating on the cycles of time. A blend of suspended sound & an uncertain melody contracts & expands before dissolving. Romance Noire is art that both contemplates & transcends time™s firm grip. It™s a filmic journey inducing a vague sense of future nostalgia. Happy Valentine™s Day. Double Mixte is Clara Apolit & Thomas Maan. The duo met in Paris & there was an immediate pull to create music together. They pooled their combined interest in powerful narrative & dark 70™s French film music to write lyrically vivid songs. In 2017, Thomas reached out to Johnny Jewel for what soon became a collaboration that expanded their vision into a haunting debut EP, out today on Italians Do It Better.
