Mecanique, La
Dernier Voyage
Formed in 2016 by Francis Nothingwater, La Mcanique is a Canadian coldwave/post-punk band which found its origins in the humid depths of Montreal's cold dark alleys. Their sound relies mainly on powerful and heavy synth vibes, reminiscent of the early 80's goth rock genre. Nothingwater briefly toured with his band in Europe in 2017, and then went on to collaborate with several Montreal based vocalists. Over the past 2 years, La Mcanique has kept active in the local underground music scene, all the while releasing a couple of EP's and singles. Dernier Voyage is their 12-tracks debut-album, that is inspired by a long solitary venture Francis orchestrated for himself through the purchase of an old derelict sailboat he used to sail the Pacific waters after hitchhiking his way across Canada by himself: He drags us along with him into a sombre universe filled with obscure imagery and lonely cathartic travels. With its blend of re- assuring melodious soundwaves and deeply melancholic vocals, this first album by La Mcanique won't leave you unscathed.
