Vitalic – 14 AM [Clivage]

Following his single Carbonized, maverick French producer Vitalic releases ‘14 AM,’ the second single from his forthcoming album DISSIDÆNCE. Out now, ‘14 AM’ is a veritable homage to Laurie Anderson’s O Superman, and will beguile you with its mix of mysterious, poetic techno tinged with EBM.

Layers of hypnotically percussive vocal samples and shimmering synths gradually build to an irrediant cosmic journey that feels simultaneously complex and stripped-back, threaded with Vitalic’s distinctive off-kilter style. If the sunrise had a soundtrack, this would surely be it.

Calmer and more delicate than the previous single, this latest track gives another taste of the album to come, as rich and multi-faceted as its producer’s career. After the frenetic ‘Carbonized,’ ‘14 AM’ reveals another side of DISSIDÆNCE.
‘Episode 1’ of the enigmatically-titled two-part DISSIDÆNCE album is described by Vitalic as a return to the roots of his sonic identity, a playful way of revisiting and revising the rock energy of his first albums. 

Alongside the new single, Vitalic has also revealed an extensive international tour schedule with three UK dates, including a headline set for Playground Festival in Glasgow on Saturday 25th September and venues to be announced in both London and Bristol.
