SONICA: Ela Orleans // La Nuit Dorée & FESCH.TV:

Inspired by her parents’ temperamental portable record player that used to mangle the LPs it played, Ela Orleans presents a suite of deconstructed, reimagined French pop music of the 1960s. At times familiar, at others transformed, these torch songs and dance tunes are set to a visual collage that summons up and subverts the fashion, film and style of bygone times. La Nuit Dorée is a vision of a Paris that could have been, and a golden age that never was.
