With Beau Discours, Orphia dives deeper into the shadows, crafting a sound where cold wave and electronic music collide in a saturated whirlwind. Darker, more organic, this six-track album marks a major shift in her approach, designed as much for introspection as for the club. Far from a mere stylistic exercise, Orphia records on tape, pushes saturation to the limit, and lets the raw material breathe -- capturing rough, grainy textures. The vocals, buried under distortion, remain minimal and sharp. Balancing tension and nostalgia, Beau Discours captures a sense of urgency, reflecting a chaotic era where analog and digital intertwine in a relentless dance. Dancing on ruins, embracing sonic violence, channeling rage into razor-sharp beats -- that's what Beau Discours is about. A record that seeks not clarity, but impact -- between synthetic coldness and dancefloor fever.

Stripped of temporal markers, today's artists unabashedly draw from the past while boldly gazing into the future. Amid revivals and innovations, trends and undercurrents, the game is intricate, the nuances abundant. Orphia's music is no exception. Behind the synthesizers, the Genevan weaves a musical tapestry on a tightrope. Cold wave, synth-pop, post-punk, Eurodance, Indochine, Depeche Mode, Boards of Canada, Eurythmics -- it all blends in a grand synthetic ritual where the festivities happily don't stop at the first light of dawn. Charging forward, swiftly, strongly, into an uncertain future, no questions asked but with a quick glance in the rearview mirror, just to be sure. L'Aventure des Gens Modernes resides in this retro-futuristic melancholy, between nostalgia and a thirst for tomorrow. Without ever falling into foolish nostalgia or soulless revival, the album reflects an absolute urgency. Urgency to produce, first and foremost, as studio work has become a true raison d'être for Orphia. Urgency to also shout out a certain rage against a world devoid of hope, and this on stage where the artist performs alone, synths in hand and sharp beats for the dancefloor. In an era where the past enables facing the future, the five tracks of L'Aventure des Gens Modernes breathe a breath of fresh air into a scene in ruins. Cyberpunk or punk in general, Orphia wants to go fast and take everything in its path.
