Essaie pas release new track “Retox”

Essaie pas release new track "Retox".

Marie Davidson and Pierre Guerineau, make up Montreal electronic duo Essaie pas. Marie has released two solo records, while Pierre has done production work for underground artists, including Dirty Beaches and Femminielli. Essaie pas was born on a hot summer night in 2010 – the mix of drawling guitars, français mumbles, and minimal electronics caught the ear of DFA Records, who booked the pair to open for Factory Floor on their first North American tour and who’re now set to release their debut album, Demain est une autre nuit (Tomorrow Is Another Night) on February 19th.

“Essaie pas’ music cannot be tied to a specific genre. It is a document of the encounter of two human beings mutually experimenting with music and sounds, and eventually falling in love while doing so. Their musical language is vibrant and varied – comparisons range from Film Soundtracks, Electronic Body Music, Disco, and Techno, with sensually-delivered lyrics exploring the themes of fantasies, obsessions, and the feeling of “The Void”.
