“I Repeat Myself” by Duchess Says

Duchess Says recently premiered the video for “I Repeat Myself”. The track is the second single from their forthcoming full length, Sciences Nouvelles, available October 14th on Bonsound in Canada and Slovenly Recordings in the rest of the world.

The video was shot on vhs tape and incorporating classic video effects, it alternates footage of the band immersed in piles of vintage synthesizers with images of the band’s vocalist Annie-Claude Deschenes, who despite being shot almost exclusively from the neck up, delivers a captivating performance in her own inimitable style.

Duchess Says was formed in Montreal by members of an obscure religious organization known as the Church of Budgerigars. Composed of Annie-Claude Deschênes (vocals, guitar, keytar), Ismael Tremblay (keyboard, guitar), Phillipe Clément (guitar, gass) and Simon Besré (drums), the group aspire to ensure the faithful representation of the message of The Duchess, their spiritual leader, through “a precise artistic dialogue.”

From the first the band captured the attention of audiences in Montreal with their live shows, vicious and theatrical presentations centered around the uncompromising conviction of Deschênes, whose performances were marked by a devotional intensity, and the primacy she places upon physically contacting the audience and pushing the boundaries of her expression.
