ANNIE-CLAUDE DESCHÊNES UNVEILS LES MANIÈRES DE TABLE THE TITLE TRACK OF DEBUT ALBUM OUT ON FRIDAY
A key figure on the Montreal independent music scene for almost twenty years, Annie-Claude Deschênes (Duchess Says, PyPy) has released LES MANIÈRES DE TABLE, her first solo album. In advance, she served up the album’s title track as an appetizer. Album launch shows will be held at the PHI Centre (Montreal) and Le Pantoum (Quebec) on April 26th and May 11th respectively.
Regardless of where we are eating, proper table etiquette is primordial… or not. On the new wave track “LES MANIÈRES DE TABLE” from the album of the same name, Annie-Claude Deschênes suggests in a directive tone bordering on rudeness the right behaviour to adopt according to the 2024 Table Manners Guide. Backed by haunting synthesizers and a frenetic beat, she rigorously explains how to follow the cathartic rules of dining, avoiding faux pas along the way. Bon appétit!
Since the release of her first single “MENACE MINIMALE” in November 2023, the multidisciplinary artist’s solo project caught the attention of several international media outlets, reaching English (Clash Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan, God Is In The TV), French (Les Inrocks, Radio Nova), Spanish (FILTER México) and German (ByteFM) speaking audiences.
Known for her hypnotic presence and eccentric stage sets, Annie-Claude Deschênes delivers a live experience that takes the form of an improbable, experimental blend of minimal pop and cuisine, during which the audience is invited to interact with the artist using all of their senses. In order to bring this unusual yet festive dinner show to life, Annie-Claude has enlisted a culinary stylist. See the list below for all tour dates.
