L’Impératrice announce their new album, Pulsar, will drop on June 7th via Microqlima. The album is also their first to feature guest vocalists who include folk/pop singer Maggie Rogers and rapper / producer Erick the Architect, among others.

Along with the album announcement, L’Impératrice have shared new single “Danza Marilù” featuring Italian vocalist Fabiana Martone. The collaboration is homage to Italo-disco fused with the band’s signature sound, and was inspired by (and a rebuttal to) Serge Gainsbourg’s L’Homme à tête de chou. It is an anthem for women of all ages, for freely moving on the dancefloor in spite of looks that may ensue.

The album’s latest single “Me Da Igual” is influenced by the band’s travels around the globe in support of 2021 album Tako Tsubo, including shows across the U.S., Mexico and Europe.

While writing the album, L’Impératice also tried a novel approach – splitting into two teams of ever-interchanging members to explore new ideas, led by the band’s founder Charles de Boisseguin. It was a way of incorporating every voice into writing like never before, pulling from idiosyncratic upbringings and enthusiasms. They then passed the tracks to Benguigui, a longtime jazz singer who would sometimes write two-dozen vocal melodies for a song just to see which one fit best. It was an arduous and exciting process and saw the band go from writing through to recording the album in about nine months. This was the sort of self-determination they’d wanted and now found.
