Breton producer QUINQUIS (aka Emilie Quinquis) has released Gwenno’s remix of “Morwreg,” taken from her mesmerizing new album ‘eor,’ out now on Mute. Currently touring the UK with Gwenno, Emilie continues to explore the intersection of language, folklore, and electronic music. The collaboration stems from the pair’s conversation for Talkhouse earlier this year, where they discussed preserving their Celtic identities through art. Both artists sing in their native tongues — Breton, Cornish, and Welsh — and ‘eor’ also includes collaborations with Cerys Hafana and Desire Marea, sung in Welsh and Zulu.
“Gwenno’s remix is the remembrance of a long night, recollecting the pieces of a relationship that has broken down on the floor, while the sun is coming up,” Emilie explains. “It keeps asking ‘what do you keep from me when your boat is leaving?’ just as the obsession for a lost love would run in circles into your mind.” The track is the first from QUINQUIS’ upcoming remix EP, out December 10 via Mute.
Drawing inspiration from the sea surrounding her home on Ushant Island, ‘eor’ is an album of haunting beauty and cinematic depth. Its songs flow like tides — from the propulsive “Inkanuko” (featuring Desire Marea) to “Dec’h,” whose neon-clad drag performance video, directed by Vanessa Le Reste, reimagines island folklore with vivid, transformative power. In QUINQUIS’ world, mythology and modernity merge, each track echoing with the pulse of the ocean and the persistence of identity.
