Canadian trio Deux Trois have released their new EP Heath. The record follows the singles ‘Late Night Girls’ and ‘Dave’. Comprised of 8 songs, the new work collages dark pop, indie and more. Packing each track with well-polished production that maintains a distinct warmth and soul without any overt filler-based add-ons, singer Nadia Pacey shines with euphoric vocals executing complete grace. Deux Trois have managed to pull-off an EP that stands stronger than many acts’ albums, concentrating on a quality package that is surely a enjoyable.
Touching on the EP, Deux Trois singer Nadia Pacey mentioned:
“‘Health’ is quiet, loud, strange and pretty. The record is a public confession, a list of probable symptoms, or a thirty-minute long joke about my life as an alien woman. The story of Health is like: if one of your co-workers was a defined manic pixie dream girl to all of your customers, but you knew she was actually a weirdo bitch twenty-four hours a day. The disconnect between appearance and reality, not just a comparison and contrast of the two ideas: we’ve delved into that theme in our videos as well as our album design. It can be endearing to be weird, but when you see yourself there, sometimes you feel like you’re offending people just by breathing around them. I keep myself at an arm’s length from many things because I like to write about them in silence and isolation; by the nature of the work I love, I can’t live in every moment with my loved ones without feeling deep anxiety or gathering ideas for future work. It is difficult for almost everyone I know. I’d say this record mostly looks at the fictional and real life of a person who is me, being that every song touches on my truth, my interpretations of the truth in others, or my assumptions of universal truth and the ways each are affected by my distance between my experiences and my memories, with each step I have taken to come to the current. In Health, every song is blue and warm black. Dave, Salt, and Late Night Girls all have some red, white, and/or glitter to them. Health is Deux Trois’ first venture into product design, film making, heuristic art practice, and music. The oldest ideas in Health are from 2015, the newest ideas are yet to come. I hope the record stays with you as these songs have with us. Thank you for listening.”
