Marie Davidson

Marie Davidson’s electronic music showcases elements of self confidence, detached humour, and open-hearted empathy. She developed the latter quality in the mid 2000s as a co-founder of the Montreal collectively run art space La Brique, which provided an early playground for artists such as Grimes, Dirty Beaches, and Tonstartssbandht. Davidson joined Xarah Dion in the experimental duo Les Momies de Palerme (Constellation Records) before founding Essaie Pas (DFA) with her husband Pierre Guerineau, and exploding as a solo artist. After touring worldwide to support her Ninja Tune debut Working Class Woman, she experienced a period of burnout, taking off the past 12 months as a sabbatical. In this conversation, Davidson hints at her upcoming return with a rock-based trio album set for release in fall 2020.
