After two EPs (Jeunes Instants and Jettatura) and a first album (À jamais privé de réponses) released on Lisbon Lux Records, Paupière is back with a second album Sade Sati.
Now led by Julia Daigle (visual artist) and Pierre-Luc Bégin (Polipe, We Are Wolves), Paupière is a glamorous and flamboyant Montreal duo with an underground sensuality that creates pop music that is both naïve and profound.
Glide is thrilled to premiere the artistic and experimental whirlwind that is Sade Sati in full prior to its Friday, May 7th release date. Paupière breaks the rules with its worldly hypnotic-beat-driven pop that references pop flashpoints from past to present: think Arcade Fire meets Sylan Esso meets Zap Mamma.
According to Indian astrology “Sade Sati” represents the result of our past karma. A challenging period that is also full of accomplishments. According to the legend, the phenomenon would manifest itself every seven years.
It’s an inevitable, but agonizing period for those who want to fulfill their true destiny, in other words, the “30 year’s old life crisis”, which marks the end of naivety. It rules our inner clock in a deep, slow, but sensitive way. Its cycles are known for bringing forward major turning points in our lives.
Paupière invites us here on an astral journey to visit dark places pierced by light like luminous cracks and where adventures are populated with inner ghosts that come from far away. In this story Pierre-Luc and Julia represent fictional characters, twins who are lost in a futuristic world, the lone survivors of a planet after chaos. Sade Sati is a metaphor or the entry into adulthood with its share of worries and the feeling of freedom and rebirth that comes with it. The album is divided into three parts : Chaos, Flight and Liberation, which summarize the creative and personal past of the band.
