Vanessa Bedoret Announces New Album About Time, Set for Release Oct. 30 via Scenic Route
From the disciplined bow of a classical violin to the restless pulse of punk guitars, London‑based violinist and vocalist Vanessa Bedoret is taking listeners on a sonic journey that feels both familiar and wildly inventive.
Her second studio album, About Time, will drop on 30 October 2026 through Scenic Route, the London‑based imprint that released her debut Eyes in 2024. The 11‑track set is poised to broaden Bedoret’s already eclectic palette, weaving vocal‑centric songs, glitch‑infused beats, and atmospheric soundscapes into a cohesive narrative about personal transition and the shifting perception of time.
Bedoret’s musical odyssey began in a conservatory at age six, where she honed her violin technique before pivoting to the raw energy of punk rock at eighteen. That restless shift opened doors to dance‑floor‑oriented electronic music, leading to collaborations with artists such as Astrid Sonne and the ambient duo Space Afrika. About Time reflects this trajectory, marrying the tactile warmth of strings with the precise, sometimes unsettling rhythms of modern production.
The album’s lead single, the electro‑acoustic track “See, Saw,” is already available for streaming. Bedoret layered a falsetto over guitar and string textures, creating a sound that feels both intimate and expansive. In a statement accompanying the release, she explained that the title plays on the image of a seesaw, capturing how moments of joy can feel fleeting while routine or difficult periods seem to stretch. She added that the concept emerged organically during the songwriting process.
A full tracklist is now posted on Bedoret’s Bandcamp page: 1) Hycean 2) Is it all? 3) See, Saw 4) Theta Waves 5) desync 6) Braneworld 7) Engram 8) Strange Attractor 9) continuum 10) Limen 11) Look Alive
Scenic Route, founded in 2019, has carved a niche as a label that champions genre‑spanning artists. Bedoret’s first album Eyes was issued on the imprint in March 2024 and attracted coverage from Clash Music, Resident Advisor, and Far Out. The roster also includes experimental acts like Astrid Sonne, whose 2024 releases Outside Of Your Lifetime and Great Doubt have drawn attention in the London scene.
In 2026, Bedoret will be on the road, performing at the Badaboum festival in Paris on 22 April alongside Rainy Miller and Purelink. Earlier in the year, she opened for Luna Lias at Sala Vanni in Italy on 6 March. These appearances bookend a busy touring schedule that dovetails with the About Time launch.
The announcement was issued through a press release distributed by Clash Music, which highlighted Bedoret’s evolution from classical training to contemporary experimental music. The release also noted that the album will be available on major streaming platforms and for purchase through Scenic Route’s distribution channels.
About Time continues Bedoret’s exploration of the intersection between acoustic instrumentation and electronic production. By blending violin, vocal work, and glitchy beats, she preserves a distinctive sonic identity that resonated with listeners of Eyes. The October release date positions the album for late‑year listening and potential inclusion in year‑end lists.
As of the announcement, the release date is confirmed and the single “See, Saw” is already streaming. Industry observers and listeners alike will soon be able to assess how Bedoret’s new material builds on the foundation she laid with Eyes.
