Navigating Madeon’s Adventure to the ‘Pixel Empire’
Having just finished up a tour this past Spring, things have hardly slowed down for Madeon since his highly anticipated debut album Adventure was released on Columbia Records back in March. Known to lock himself in the studio for 24 hours just to finish a project, the French producer, real name Hugo Leclercq, has always been somewhat of a perfectionist. “With Adventure, I wanted to capture the feeling and sensibility of my teenage years,” he recollects. “I wanted the album to start very vibrant and pop and end with a more contemplative tone.”
Citing “Home” as his most personal production to date, the album did exactly what Madeon set out to do and in doing so, has helped the young talent gain recognition from some industry heavyweights both in the electronic and pop scene.
Dubbing the tour after a song from the LP with the same name, Madeon’s Pixel Empire tour announcement came with a gift of a new music video for another track off the album called “Nonsense.” Featuring vocals from Mark Foster of Foster The People, the “Nonsense” video continues the story from his last two music videos “You’re On” and “Pay No Mind.”
You can watch the music video for “Nonsense” below but if you’re a no-nonsense type, then make your way to the Pixel Empire tour when it comes to a city near you. Join us on our partnering dates.
