Contre Soirée, the alias of French artist Olivier Decodts, returns with Psychiatry, a four-track EP that transforms personal pain into visceral art. Blending post-punk and industrial sounds with raw guitar work, the EP candidly narrates Olivier’s emotional journey during his time in a psychiatric hospital. The first three tracks create a stark narrative of his experiences, culminating in a haunting cover of Pixies’ "Gauge Away."
This work breaks away from conventional escapism often found in electronic music, instead embracing the raw truths of human experience.
What does it mean for art to serve as a platform for such intensely personal suffering, and how can it reshape our understanding of mental health narratives in the music industry?
