Paris-based synth pop outfit Premier Métro — Dimitri, Sébastien, Alexandre and Enzo — initially specialized in a nostalgia-inducing synth driven sound that seeming drew from 80s pop, Flavien Berger, The Weeknd, and others.
With just a handful of singles under their collective belt, the French quartet landed a slot We Love Green and an appearance on Culturebox. Since then they’ve released a handful of singles, including “Pour Quelques Secondes” and their recently released debut EP, Les autres sont touś partis.
Les autres sont touś partis was inspired and written during a nocturnal, excessive year. “In the dark, everything is experienced with greater intensity,” the French quartet explain. The EP’s latest single “Mascara” is club banger featuring tweeter and woofer rattling thump, glistening and cascading synth arpeggios paired with remarkably catchy hooks and a sultry, longing vocal. It’s the sort of song perfect for dancing and sweating your worries and concerns away for a few minutes.
Directed by Lou Dunoyer, Marion Gourvest and Mathilde Beltran, the accompanying video for “Mascara” follows drag king Power Beau Tom in the one of the most vulnerable and intimate moments of our lives — primarily at home and in front of your mirror. Then we’re at the club, watching Power Beau Tom dance with an eclectic array of humans at a night club.
