Tom Smith (frontman): “It’s a song of obsession, about
losing yourself in someone, a love song, a morbid love song”.
TUTV: It’s official now. You can dance to Editors, but
beware don’t overdo it and avoid a heart attack, folks.
The sensational video clip for Heart Attack, is made
by the director and visual artist Felix Geen who says: “Typically
when I’m making a music video I try to tune myself into the song
and find the visual that resonates the loudest.”
Earlier this month acclaimed singer-songwriter Father John Misty (real name: Joshua Michael Tillman) from Rockville, Maryland dropped his 5th LP called Chloë And The Next 20th Century, praised by the press.
And here’s the video clip for highlight and tearjerker Kiss Me (I Loved You). Let’s dive into the night and
head towards a cozy bar.
London’s post-Gothic-punk minds BLACK DOLDRUMS with
key members Sophie Landers and Kevin Gibbard launched their
debut album release DEAD AWAKE a couple of weekes ago
(stream/buy below).
Turn Up The Volume said: The duo combines the haunting drive of the early Joy Division days the swirling guitar psych-o-billy of Danish duo The Raveonettes
with the lights out, and . a couple of sonic tranquilizers to the mix ) that put your
confused mind to rest. Black Doldrums love the midnight hours and so should you.
One of the full-length’s highlights is Dreamcatcher. An impeccable post-punk trip with glimmering guitars trippin’ around an addictive melody and shadowy voices floating all over it.
Last month Italian popsters THE BANKROBBER launched
the second single, titled WHITE SKIN from their upcoming
second longplayer.
Turn Up The Volume wrote: “The titillating electro- intro echoes early Depeche Mode before they became the darkwave Goth-esque rockers we all know. But in an eye-blink White Skin turns into a swirling synth-pop stomper to fill dancefloors with. It’s an instantly infectious nightclub earworm with an ecstatic chorus. This adrenaline-infused and hip-swinging doozy should top the dance charts around the globe.”
Here’s the totally cool retro discotheque clip, glitter ball included, feat. a drop-dead
gorgeous, white-legged lady (can I have her telephone number, please?)
A spectacular twist and turn trip with Ellery‘s story-telling vocals and Skye‘s
architectural skills with electronics. Sounds like a synth symphony by
the Mael brothers duo Sparks.
Georgia Ellery: “‘Concrete Over Water’ was written on a Summer’s night
in 2019 in a flat in Farringdon which was above a pub, and above a train line.”
About the video: “The clip is co-directed by the band and Eddie Whelan. The place hummed when the trains went under. The video was born out of the celestial themes in the song. Eddie and I created the characters (Moongirl, Voyager, Magma Boy, etc.) to explore the feelings of wonder, inspiration and the search for answers, to reflect what the song represents to me.”
Turn Up The Volume wrote about THE CHEFS SONG : “Another astounding
hellraiser swinging your mind from left to right and back, from Samara‘s sort
of vocal broadcasting performance to Manimal‘s death metal snarls and back.
130 seconds of intimidating thunder-and-lighting brouhaha. A merciless
brainbreaker.”
And here’s the razzle-dazzle video. Another visual
tour de force by two formidable sound and vision artists…
