Racine is the project of Montreal based producer Julien Racine. One year after Quelque Chose Tombe, he’s announced the release of a new album called Amitiés which will be out on January 21st, 2022 via Aisha Devi’s Danse Noire. According to the press release, There’s a lived-in quality to the sound of Racine’s Amitiés, as it was created during an extended time spent indoors, contemplating what it means to be isolated and in one’s own body, while also staying connected. It’s in this lack of social interaction—the heady psychosis of too much solitude—that Amitiés tone and mood lies, scoring the numb dissociation from internal chaos and alienation.
