DOUBLE MIXTE, a French duo that has successfully merged new wave and synthpop to bone-chilling effect, has astutely crafted their own distinctive narrative in the music industry. Their debut EP, "Romance Noire," ventured beyond the realms of standard instrumentals and lyrics to yield a cinematic musical aesthetic, a truly unique approach in a terrain often content with convention. From the thrumming synth lines to Clara Apolit's ethereal vocals, every note in DOUBLE MIXTE’s music seems to echo a world of perpetual twilight, creating an almost palpable sense of dread, anticipation and excitement all at the same time.
A key aspect to note is that the stunningly surreal quality isn’t limited to their music alone. Their visual artistry is equally captivating. Take a look at the video for "Romance Noire," where the noir mood and hypnotic visuals create an atmosphere that transcends the song into an immersive experience. Glitchy, static-soaked imagery merges with a haunting, brooding soundscape to deliver an arresting viewing experience.
Interestingly, the duo has a peculiar penchant for nautical themes. For instance, they literally take their audience ‘under the sea’ in their music video for "Arlette." The video presents an odd spectacle, where viewers dive into the ocean with the artists, exploring a dreamlike, underwater realm. Whether it's their sly nod to the kitschy joy of '80s synth-pop or their clever way to offer a breathing space amidst their otherwise intense, pervasive darkness, only DOUBLE MIXTE knows. But their geometric eels and moonlit sea bed features only serve to further their mystique, captivating the audience in a serene yet unsettling charm.
