LaNote’s ‘Au fonds des bois’ may be a short musical sojourn, but it manages to leave a lasting impression with its great lo-fi production. The glitchy elements in the production add a sense of unpredictability, and the delicate, delayed, and reverb-soaked vocals create an atmosphere that’s both soothing and enigmatic. The chilled drums, accompanied by lovely vinyl scratches, contribute to the track’s overall ambiance. The harmonies, though minimal, are incredibly effective, leaving you wanting more of this intriguing sound world.
LaNote, a French-American singer-songwriter and beatmaker, has skillfully cultivated a unique musical universe where folk, electro, and various influences from different eras coexist harmoniously. Whether it’s the folk-inspired elements, the electro atmospheres reminiscent of the 80s, 90s, or more recent periods like the 2010s Californian beat scene, LaNote seamlessly blends these diverse influences with refreshing creativity.
Her background, with a Californian father and a French mother, has allowed her to meld various origins and musical influences. Starting with a foundation in the hip-hop and electro cultures of the 90s and 2000s, she ventured into singing over trip-hop and hip-hop instrumentals, occasionally delving into rap.
