Lune très belle have announced a new album. The collective headed by Montreal composer Frédérique Roy and rounded out by Bernice's Robin Dann and Philippe Melanson, Samuel Gougoux of VICTIME and Corridor, Kee Avil and more will release Ovale on March 23 via Boiled Records

Following the release of "Mona" in November, Ovale is further previewed today by its second single. The latest is the delicately-composed ambience of "La mite," which washes over listeners like a gentle wave. The new single comes accompanied by mesmerizing visuals from Simon Labbé, who also plays guitar and synths on Ovale.

"'La mite' tells a story of blind spots and of desires. The heart is like a big oval fruit, its shape revealing in contact with cold water, a lake like a big mirror staring up at you," said Roy. "Simon created a video for the song, a gracious horse in the daylight and my face endlessly mutating."

Watch the music video for "La mite" below.
