As a singer and musician, Athenaïs captivates audiences with bewitching vocals, harmoniously fusing retro 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, OCNIC, invites us on a sensual and hypnotic road trip. OCNIC draws inspiration from the grooves of R&B, raw energy of psychedelic rock, and the experimental edge of electronica. Like fire, OCNIC, is both a portal and an invitation, encouraging you to let go and discover uncharted sides of yourself.

With its sexy bassline, driving percussion, distorted guitars, catchy synth melodies, and Athenaïs’ bewitching vocals, OCNIC showcases her unique ability to create immersive soundscapes and engaging storytelling.

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.
