Hotly-tipped French synth-pop artist Fishbach has unveiled the video to her single ‘Un Autre Que Moi’ – a track taken from her debut album A Ta Merci. Watch it on Gigwise below.
In general, the singer occupies a haunting, moody, atmospheric sound synth pop sound that’s full of hooks and can appeal to fans of College (they did the Drive soundstrack), New Order, and Siouxsie and The Banshees. The latest single is more uplifting than what we’ve seen before and showcases her ability to move things in a sunnier direction instrumentally with bright synth patterns and funky basslines.
However, her voice keeps things grounded and it’s what holds all the songs on her album together because no matter how happy things seem on the surface, her delivery has so much depth. She endears the listener to try and unpick the words due to her ability to convey the deeply personal and emotional subject matter with sincerity and a healthy amount of neuroticism that makes her seem philosophical.
The beautiful music video, directed by Spanish duo Manfre & Iker Iturria, dives us into a nocturnal and schizophrenic world where time and space seem to come to a halt.
Angel Olsen is a recent convert on the Fishbach bandwagon and recently posted a photo of her with the comment: “I am good at hating on a lot of things but I really really don't hate this woman,” implying it’s among the best new music she’s heard in quite a while.
It’s quite hard to disagree, Fishbach does sound like someone who’s about to make a big dent in the UK after her quick rise through the ranks in French pop. With her releases only seeing French release so far, she now has a UK distributor and her first EP will be the first thing to come out, and will see a release on 12 May.
Fishbach will play live at Birthdays on 17 May and The Great Escape on 19 May.
