Career


Davidson was part of the duo Les Momies de Palerme, along with Xarah Dion.[1] Their album, Brûlez ce coeur, was released on Constellation Records in 2010. She has collaborated with various other musicians including Matana Roberts (on her project Coin Coin Chapter One: Gens de couleur libres) and David Kristian, and she was part of the orchestral project Land of Kush.[1]

She is also one half of the minimal wave duo Essaie pas,[6] a duo she formed with her partner, Pierre Guerineau.[7][8] The duo were longlisted for the 2016 Polaris Music Prize for their album Demain est une autre nuit.[9]

Her third solo album, Adieux au dancefloor, was named by Pitchfork as one of "The 20 Best Electronic Albums of 2016".[10] The album is themed around Davidson's ambivalent feelings towards dance music and club culture.[11] She released Working Class Woman on Ninja Tune in 2018.[4] She released Renegade Breakdown on Ninja Tune in 2020.[12]


Musical style


Davidson's music has been labelled as techno[2][1] and minimal wave,[1] with AllMusic's Paul Simpson describing it as "cold, hypnotic minimal wave with analog synthesizers and drum machines, showcasing her intimate yet detached lyrics that are more often spoken than sung."[1] Pitchfork critic Sophie Kemp has stated that the sound of Working Class Woman is "somewhere between spoken word electroclash of Miss Kittin and the dreamy dissonance of Julee Cruise."[13]
