With “The Onion Plot,” French artist Sébastien Lasserre teams up with NACNAC (Krista Muir) to craft a hypnotic and eerie soundscape that lingers long after the final note fades. A genre-blurring masterpiece, the track draws from shoegaze, electronic, and experimental rock, creating an atmosphere that feels like a soundtrack to a surreal, neo-noir dream.
“The Onion Plot” feels like a David Lynch-directed fever dream, blending retro electro beats, clean guitar lines, and whispered metallic vocals that evoke an unsettling yet mesmerizing energy. The downtempo rhythm and layered production unfold like a mystery, each element peeling back to reveal something new much like its namesake.
Hailing from Bayonne in the Basque Country (France), Lasserre’s distinct production style perfectly complements NACNAC’s ethereal vocal delivery, creating a misty, nocturnal aesthetic that is both haunting and intoxicating. The song’s creeping tension and gradual sonic layering pull listeners into an immersive and almost cinematic experience.
“The Onion Plot” is a track that doesn’t just ask to be heard, it demands to be felt. Whether you’re a fan of shoegaze, eerie experimental rock, or avant-garde electronica, this collaboration is a spellbinding journey into the unknown, one that lingers like a beautifully unsettling dream.
