When Velour Modular first emerged with 2013’s ‘Capsule’ EP, she channeled Kuedo’s melodic synth motifs, summoned the bubbling electronica of Seekae, the spacious, hallucinatory elements of Clams Casino, and the shuffling percussion of Phon.o. The Capsule EP shone a light on her ambitious, exploratory sides, as well as her skills for successfully realising what was a deeply conceptual record. Where Capsule looked to childhood, new tracks recorded with acclaimed producer Phon.o bring us into her present world. “I tried to reveal the mechanisms that can appear in reaction to love.” Explains Guilhem, “Having “feelings” for someone or ourselves may not be obvious to handle. Exposing and accepting vulnerability is probably the hardest thing to do. That’s what I tried to write about. Shields is about rejection.”
