Un Autre Voyage (translated as "Another Journey") is a collection of songs based solely on true events, providing the listener with an unfiltered primary account of Marie's intrapersonal experiences. This act of self-journalism serves as a psychological cleansing that evokes an authentic sense of warmth and empathy, rendering Un Autre Voyage as Davidson's most transparently honest artistic document yet. Through this concerted disclosure, Marie's unique practice of surreal atmospheric composition now shows irrepressible traces of exuberance, displaying a fresh luminosity in her emotive palette. This stands in stark contrast to Davidson's self-titled debut EP (HOLODECK, 2013), which depicts a disoriented mind struggling for stability throughout a period of depression in her musical and personal life. In 2014's Perte d'Identité (Weyrd Son) Davidson narrates her search for self through the course of trial and conquest, establishing her distinct method of song writing that is as compelling as it is existential. However, 2015's Un Autre Voyage bares the immense weight of Davidson's psyche by turning direct experience into song, utilizing her candid self-examination to convey a new found serenity that playfully underlines her otherwise brooding and pensive soundscapes. Marie embraces slower experimental composition on pieces like Kidnap You in the Desert, Insomnie, and Perséphone, while songs like Excès de Vitesse and Balade aux USA are decidedly upbeat and indicate a broadening complexity in Marie's aesthetic domain. Vocal, guitar, and production contributions from husband and Essaie Pas bandmate Pierre Guerineau establish a communicative interface that allows for the full articulation and realization of Davidson's inner-dialogues.

All songs based on true events.
