New York electronic producer Vitesse X shared her sophomore album This Infinite in October 2024; a few months later, one of her creative heroes, David Lynch, died. That fragile line between life and death is one of the inspirations behind “Memori,” Vitesse X’s very good new single out today.
“Memori” is mostly about death, but in a way that makes peace with it. The track sees Vitesse X embrace her clubby roots, driven by a shuffling, danceable beat that’s washed with dreamy reverb. Vitesse X says in a press release:
I spent the past year listening to near-death experience stories, which renewed my belief in an afterlife. When David Lynch passed, I joined a group meditation in his honor and felt the veil between worlds thinning. What once terrified me shifted into awe. These lyrics grew from that moment and from Lynch’s ideas about transcendence and the ocean of consciousness.
Vitesse X made the “Memori” video with Chris Burden, and you can check that out below.
