(September 26, 2023) Today, Evian Christ shares the latest single "Nobody Else" from his eagerly anticipated debut album Revanchist via Warp Records. Evian Christ will also be embarking on tour later this week, which includes a string of European dates through Prague, Paris, London, Amsterdam and one North American date in New York.


"Nobody Else" shows reverence to classic Balearic trance and its associated imagery — a widescreen view of a supermassive Iberian sunset; Apocalypse Now meets Café Del Mar. Its vast breakdown, featuring an unrecognizably washed out sample of Clairo’s "North" submerged in the undertow of crashing waves, provides one of Revanchist's most strikingly fragile moments.


Revanchist is scheduled for release via Warp Records on October 20th, 2023. The eight-track record explores the latent potential in trance to evoke, beyond euphoria, the fullest feeling of the sublime.


Revanchist follows 2020’s Ultra, a landmark label-debut that demonstrated Christ’s emerging command of an abstractly destructive musical vocabulary. The album draws from an unlikely and diverse pool of influences; compositing the suffocating throttle of Demiurge-era Emptyset (2011); the worldliness of Madonna and William Orbit’s Ray Of Light LP (1998); the acute uncanniness of Laibach’s Across The Universe (1988); and a highly stylized approach to mixing and sound design primarily inspired by Sasha’s seminal Xpander EP (1999). 


Revanchist’s album artwork is designed by long-standing collaborator and celebrated graphic designer David Rudnick. Inspired by classic trance singles, the limited edition CD is housed in a screen printed slim pack jewel-case with 5-color printed PVC inlay and wrap around sticker; the vinyl, similarly limited to an initial pressing of 1000, is housed in a screen-printed transparent bag with a printed inner-sleeve and double-sided 36x24” fold-out poster.
