Rïcïnn releases new song ‘Psamatäe’

RÏCÏNN has released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Psamatäe, is taken from the experimental French vocalist/composer’s (Laure Le Prunenec) upcoming new album, Nereïd, which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Speaking about the new song, Le Prunenec says,Psamatäe, is a song about desire. The gaze of the loved one can have an unbearable power. Psamatheus was seduced by the Aequi, the king of the Myrmidons, who ambushed her on the beach. She tried to escape his grip by transforming into a seal but he refused to let go until she relented, giving birth to a son who was given the name of Phocos, ‘the seal’. From a mud of frustration, fear, lack of recognition of the true ‘self’, a black, vulnerable creature emerges, for protection, to survive… to escape from a reality of lies, fleeing, so that the Other finally sees….”

On the composition, she concludes, “this song has been completely rearranged by the talented Antony Miranda, with his analogue sounds. This experience was incredible, to see a sound springing from old synths! We had a lot of fun! Thanks to my wonderful team: Eran Segal (clean guitars), Antony Miranda (arrangements, bass, e-bow guitars), Sylvain Bouvier (drums), Raphaël Verguin (Cello), Déhà (Mix and Master).”

Nereïd is set for release on October 23rd via Blood Music. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
