French composer Lucie Antunes broadens her sonic horizons with second album ‘Carnaval’. Last April, the Perpignan-born, classically-trained drummer and percussionist released an ebullient, electronically-oriented record that was firmly aimed at the dancefloor. Antunes unites the pop world with the avant-garde, with a cross-over appeal that traverses genres and borders. Inspired in part by American composer Meredith Monk, the French artist uses her vox as a percussive instrument for the first time, conveying meaning with nonverbal phrases and phonetics.
