La Faute, real name Peggy Messing, is a Toronto, Canada-based dream pop artist who has just hit my radar thanks to her brand new release Blue Girl Nice Day.

By Graeme Smith

Blue Girl Nice Day was inspired by the Milgram Experiments of the ’60s where participants were led to give electric shocks to others by an authority figure. Suitably, there’s a gloominess about it, but that’s tempered by Peggy’s captivating and sympathetic vocals. Applying the theme of the experiment to the idea of a relationship, the lyrics feel deeply relatable and the sonic soundscape will leave you haunted.

La Faute’s debut album, which shares the name of this track, is on its way. I can’t wait to hear more from her. You can check out the video for Blue Girl Nice Day below.
