Palm Springs-via-Montreal electronic/synthpop duo Desire (aka Megan Louise and Johnny Jewel) have aired the video for their new single "Black Latex".
The song is taken from their brand new album 'Escape', out today, May 3 via Italians Do It Better. Grab it here.
"Black Latex" opens the new album in a hypnotic vocoder trance. It's like a machine trying to catch its breath. Driven by a single note, the menacing tone sets the stage for the melodrama that unfolds throughout the record. The brazen minimalism recalls Johnny Jewel's signature compositions "Tick Of The Clock" & "Digital Versicolor" from the neon-noir films of Nic Refn. Megan Louise pivots from English to French in a spoken monologue fit for the silver screen. Our heroine turns villain, carrying the torch of vaudeville camp into this century proclaiming "It's A Horror Show...Don't You Know?" Lights, Camera, Action!
