“If "Danza Marilù" is indicative of the quality of work to come, we're in for a serious batch of summer bangers this festival season.” - EXCLAIM! The quickly rising group L’Impératrice recently announced their new album Pulsar, due June 7th via Microqlima. The album sees them move freely among the sounds they love, bridging hip-hop, kosmische, and modern pop with their most unabashed embraces of French Touch and international house ever. It is their first album to feature guest vocalists who include folk / pop singer Maggie Rogers and rapper / producer Erick the Architect, among others. They also shared new single “Danza Marilú (feat. Fabiana Martone),” an electrifying homage to Italo-disco and is an anthem for women of all ages for freely moving on the dancefloor. Today, before the first of two sold out shows in New York City and their return performances at Coachella, the band shares the animated video for the single, illustrated by Arthur Sevestre.

The Parisian six-piece group has given riveting performances at some of the biggest festivals in the U.S. including Coachella, Outside Lands and Austin City Limits, and has a quickly expanding fanbase that propelled their upcoming international fall tour to sell over 45,000 tickets in a few weeks. New single “Danza Marilú” follows “Me Da Igual” – three words in Spanish that roll off the tongue, a perfect title for a track of heightened sensuality. These early singles from Pulsar give listeners a look at what to expect throughout the the focused but far-reaching new record, 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.  Pulsar is a record where L’Impératrice made every decision, a set of songs that truly captured the band’s spirit both onstage and off. The self-produced album radiates the energy and wisdom of a band that has helmed so many dance parties around the world on the way to finding itself and its sound. Throughout, vocalist Flore Benguigui boldly sings of self-empowerment, or of shirking beauty standards, ageism, and drab normalcy. These are apt messages for these incandescent anthems of experience, of being yourself instead of anyone else’s version of it. 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. By confronting other languages, other perspectives and other territories, and with pleasure as their only compass, Pulsar is the jubilant testament of a band with plenty to say and the skills to say it themselves.  Preorder / presave Pulsar  here: qlima.cool/PULSAR.
