Dream-Pop Trio Deux Visages Drops New Single “Backseat Mafia”
The dream-pop trio Deux Visages has quickly risen to fame in recent years, starting out as high school friends who bonded over direct messages. Comprised of vocalist Daphney Hanono, guitarist Jack Chiu, and bassist Tony Jouvin, the band caught the attention of Atlantic Records after captivating audiences with their mesmerizing live performances. Since then, they have been steadily building their reputation with a series of singles, an EP, and opening slots for notable acts like Mannequin Pussy, julie, and Wunderhorse.
Their relocation from Miami to Philadelphia has played a significant role in shaping their sound, which seamlessly fuses dream-pop and alternative rock with a raw emotional intensity that sets them apart. Deux Visages recently signed with Pure Noise Records and unveiled their latest single, “Always You,” along with a visually stunning music video. The track, described as a heartfelt expression of longing and vulnerability, reflects on themes of yearning, uncertainty, and fear.
According to Hanono, “Always You” is a poignant reflection on observing someone you care about from a distance, feeling powerless to reach them. The song captures the emotional struggle of outgrowing childhood innocence while desperately holding onto remnants of the past. This delicate balance between nostalgia and growth infuses the track with a deep sense of introspection, offering a moving exploration of loss, identity, and transformation.
With its ethereal melodies and poignant lyrics, “Always You” serves as a preview of Deux Visages’ upcoming debut album, set for release later this year. The band has evidently found a creative equilibrium where authenticity and ambition coexist harmoniously, signaling a new chapter in their artistic journey. From humble beginnings as teenagers exchanging messages online, Deux Visages now stand at the precipice of a promising future, poised to make waves in the music industry with their distinctive sound.
As they continue to evolve and mature as artists, Deux Visages exemplify a rare blend of musical talent and emotional depth. Their ability to tap into universal emotions and translate them into captivating music sets them apart as a band to watch. With “Always You” as a powerful introduction to their debut album, Deux Visages are undoubtedly on the brink of achieving widespread recognition and acclaim in the music scene.
