Breton producer QUINQUIS (Émilie Quinquis)‘s unique sound is as rooted in history as it is relentlessly forward-thinking. Singing primarily in Breton, the Celtic language of her ancestors, QUINQUIS crafts a delicate, ethereal blend of tradition and innovation.

With her new album eor (tr: anchor), QUINQUIS has reached a career-defining moment. Produced by Gareth Jones, eor stands as a modern classic, an album that emotionally, sonically, and creatively pushes forward with shimmering electronic landscapes and deeply personal melodies.

Two collaborations on eor amplify the album’s ambition and emotional depth South African vocalist Desire Maria contributes an otherworldly performance, singing in Zulu and infusing the record with profound cultural resonance. Meanwhile, Welsh artist Cerys Hafana brings her singular artistry to a spellbinding track, weaving modern textures with echoes of ancient traditions.

QUINQUIS’ powerful blend of Breton heritage and cutting-edge electronic production, evidenced on her two Mute albums, SEIM (2022) and eor, places her among the most exciting voices in contemporary music and a vital artist to watch.
