Nuit Oceān Returns with Nocturnal Electro-Soul Gem ‘TILL THE DAWN’

Emerging from Bordeaux, Nuit Oceān makes a triumphant return with his first single in three years, ‘TILL THE DAWN’, out today via Fevrier Records. The French electro-modern soul project has spent the past decade quietly building a devoted following, amassing over 13.7 million streams while earning plaudits from outlets like Vogue France, Rolling Stone France, Tsugi, and NOCTIS Magazine.

The track is a masterclass in atmospheric restraint. Opening with vast, wintery sawtooth synths, it gradually unfurls into a glitchy yet intimate rhythm, carrying Nuit Oceān’s airy, wistful vocals across an expansive sonic landscape. There’s a cinematic tension here, the kind that lingers long after the track fades, melding modern soul’s emotional pull with electronic minimalism in a way that nods to James Blake, Burial, and Mount Kimbie without ever feeling derivative.

“The Nuit Oceān project has been on hold for three years. It really mattered to me to come back with something meaningful, more refined, both technically and emotionally. This track is a true return, and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. I have a distinct, strange, and unique universe that deserves its place, and I hope it will resonate with a wider audience.”

Having performed at NRMAL Fest in Mexico alongside Swans, Future Islands, and Phantogram, as well as Paris’ cult venues Supersonic and David Lynch’s Silencio, Nuit Oceān has proven himself a live force, but it’s in tracks like this that his artistry truly crystallises. ‘TILL THE DAWN’ is a nocturnal journey, simultaneously melancholy and soothing, a reminder that French independent music still holds some of the most quietly compelling voices in modern electronic soul.
