As a singer and musician, Athenaïs captivates audiences with bewitching vocals, harmoniously fusing 80s synths, poetic lyricism, field recordings and improvised melodies. Inspired by genres like New Wave, Synth-Pop, Dark Disco and Psychedelic Rock, she blends electronic and acoustic elements to create an hypnotic soundscape.
Athénaïs gained recognition through her eclectic debut album 'Codes Lumière,' which led her to perform at festivals such as Fusion, Dockville, and Garbicz, as well as clubs like Sisyphos, Watergate, Renate, Katerblau, Ritter Butzke, and Departamento in Mexico. She has also supported acts like Kerala Dust and Thylacine.
Her new single "VISION" is an introspective track inspired by Athenaïs’ experience in Mexico, where she participated in a "búsqueda de la visión" as a supporter. This ancient rite of passage into adulthood involves four days and nights of fasting, spent alone in the wilderness of a sacred place chosen by elders. It serves as a profound journey of self-discovery, spiritual connection, and guidance.
Deeply moved by the tradition, Athenaïs reflected on her own roots and wrote *"VISION"* in response to women asking about ancestral practices in Europe. This journey led her to explore the forgotten magic of her lineage, from the Celts to the witches lost to history.
Blending distorted field recordings from the vision quest with driving percussion, groovy basslines, and hypnotic French vocals, *"VISION"* delivers an intense, immersive experience that bridges ancestral memory with contemporary sound.
The single is being released under Coucou Records, a label and collective fostering creative experimentation, open-genre music, and community. Focused on blending eclectic sounds, Coucou aims to explore the music palette- from the intimate warmth of acoustic textures to the pulsating beats of electronic music. By bridging the gap of the “in-between” Coucou encourages a fusion of styles that invites listeners to experience music in fresh and innovative ways.
