City of Clowns (White Vinyl LP)

Marie Davidson's City of Clowns marks her sixth album, a collaboration with Belgian act Soulwax and Pierre Guerineau. Following singles "Y.A.A.M. (Your Asses Are Mine)" and "Contrarian," the album blends the techno punch of Working Class Woman with the melodic pop structures of Renegade Breakdown. This fusion brings a fresh, antagonistic energy, inspired by her pre-pandemic roots but confronting the modern foe of Big Tech. Soulwax’s inventive production adds depth, propelling Davidson into new sonic territory where experimental electronic pop meets dance-floor readiness. City of Clowns showcases Davidson’s continued evolution, cementing her as a bold, innovative voice in electronic music. - Flying Out

Marie Davidson details her sixth studio album City of Clowns, made in collaboration with Soulwax and Pierre Guerineau (Essaie pas, L’Œil Nu, Feu St-Antoine) out 28th February 2025, via Soulwax’s own DEEWEE label.

Arriving alongside the announcement, Davidson shares Sexy Clown, a track exploring Davidson’s conflicted feelings around her treatment as an outsider – someone whose vulnerability and mettle, candidness and humour – struggle to co-exist in people’s minds. In writing that song, though, she realised she’s no longer conflicted about it. She knows exactly who she is: “You like it when I’m mean, you like it Sexy? Don’t get it confused, cuz I do it for me,” Davidson humorously laments on the single.
