Text excerpt by Tonal Union:

"On the spot piano improvs, experimental jazz and ambient coalesce on lo-fi, self-liberating debut. “Après coup, to me, signifies that moment of conscience in the aftermath, fundamentally an experience of time, the relationship between the before and after.” – Laurie Torres

Centering around piano, drums and synthesizer with interweaving field recordings, 'Après coup’ is a sprawling 11-track album. Translating directly from French - afterwards, after the event - its title subliminally points at something deeper between the lines. Recorded in 2023 between tours in a small window of time where ‘normal’ life hadn't quite recommenced, Torres meticulously crafted her debut solo material in view of surrounding nature, all providing the perfect nourishment for long streams of improvisation. Built right up to the edge of a lake, Studio Wild in St-Zénon, Québec offered an unparalleled location and set up for her freeform creativity.

Instrumental music seemed like a natural response and evolution for Torres who had long basked in the world of “pop music” as she elaborates: “I had an urge to use creativity as a sort of resting place, a place where things can unfold slowly and take time to reveal themselves. In other worlds words, I felt the need to make something slower, more elusive” [...]"

Artist bio via the label: 

"Laurie Torres is a Canadian musician and composer raised in Montréal, Québec by Haitian parents. Since 2008, she has been a trusted stage and studio performer for Julia Jacklin, Pomme, and Land of Talk, as well as being a founding member of Folly & The Hunter, with whom she recorded four studio albums and toured Canada, Europe and the UK.

Growing up in South Shore, an eclectic love for music bloomed, traversing hip-hop (Nas, Missy Elliott), Motown, household rotations of 70s-80s Haitian music and pop before deep diving into post-rock local royalty Godspeed You! Black Emperor. As a child, Torres began classical piano lessons which continued into her teenage years, where she went on to pick up drums, playing high school bands and jazz ensembles, embedding herself in Montréal’s enriching community."
