A few days ago various medias featured the first album by Louisa Pillot as one of the hottest acts around. She's a techno DJane and brings back the cold but pulsing industrial sound to now. I know that this is not everybody's cup of tea but I like the way she interprets techno and her roots in industrial music. Sometimes I remember Anne Clark from the early 80's who made a similar sound almost 40 years ago. Pillot raised in NYC and is now located in France and it seems the times are right for a renaissance of cold industrial beats and post-EBM beats. On her debut, she performs her vocals, which are spoken word rather than vocals, confidently and strongly, even when she talks about topics such as love, loss, death and eroticism. This debut album with it's stomping beats is a demanding but absolutely worthwhile trip to the darkest corners of electronic music. An album I really like to listen to. I am not sure if this is the start of a new series so make your own meaning about it.
