As she puts it, \u201cIt\u2019s an egotistical album \u2013 and I\u2019m okay with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-releases no-mobile\">\n<div class=\"biography biog-full\">\n<p>The sound of &#8220;<strong>Working Class Woman<\/strong>&#8221; is more direct than any of her previous outings. She still mines the same influences, from Italo Disco, to proto-industrial and electro, but leadens them with a gut-punching weight, making for a record that\u2019s more visceral than any she\u2019s released before. It\u2019s combined with her characteristically-deployed spoken text \u2013 rather than spoken word, which she sees as a distinct tradition \u2013 that carries a more darkly humourous edge than before, making observations on both aspects of club culture as well as more oblique critiques of the modern world. It\u2019s a record poised between dark and light. Industrial heaviness is balanced by <strong>Davidson<\/strong>\u2019s words; dark, textured soundscapes are counterweighted by statements or observations which never take themselves too seriously. It\u2019s something that\u2019s encapsulated in the driving momentum of \u2018So Right\u2019: it matches pared back lyrics with a melodic bassline and bright synths, her words sketching out a euphoric feeling that chimes with the music. It\u2019s the first single from the record, and comes backed by a John Talabot remix, where he slows down the momentum, creating a mellow pace guided a languorous bassline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Ninja Tune<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Ninja Tune<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Marie Davidson<\/strong>\u2019s new album, on <strong>Ninja Tune<\/strong>, turns the mirror on herself. &#8220;<strong>Working Class Woman<\/strong>\u201d is the Montreal-based producer\u2019s fourth and most self-reflective record: it\u2019s a document of her state of mind, a reflection of the past year she\u2019s spent living in Berlin, and a comment on the stresses and strains of operating within the spheres of dance music and club culture.
