October 26, 2021 Matilde Davoli shares compelling visual narrative in video for ‘Il Coraggio di Provare’

Matilde Davoli shares compelling visual narrative in video for ‘Il Coraggio di Provare’

The video for Matilde Davoli’s new single ‘Il Coraggio di Provare’ has been shared, ahead of the release of her upcoming full album Home – set to drop on November 5th via Loyal To your Dreams.

Directed by Niccolò Natali of SANTABELVA, the video was shot in Marina di Pisa, Tuscany. The track’s monumental soundscape is well suited to the visuals which tell the surreal story of a woman reliving her youth through a daydream. The catalyst is a strange and beautiful dress made from a parachute, that metaphorically speaks of flying away.

‘Il Coraggio di Provare’ is a track to seek out when respite from this busy world is sought. The song is both uplifting and soothing, and Davoli’s ability to render emotion with sound has created something here that resonates with subtle power.

Davoli gives some insight into the plot: “The video for my latest single features Caterina, an elderly woman, who finds a special dress from when she was young, made from a parachute. This memory will transport her far from the picnic she’s having with her grandchildren, and to a post-war summer in the company of military deserters. We wanted the video to be an immersive sound journey of extraordinary evocative power, where the intimate and suspended music marries with Caterina’s emotions, while she digs distant memories that require a little courage to be lived again.”

October 18, 2021 Rising avant-pop duo ÄTNA share delightfully weird music video

Rising avant-pop duo ÄTNA share delightfully weird music video

Rising German avant-pop duo ÄTNA are poised to announce a brand new release with the arrival of ‘Smile‘ this October through Humming Records.

Following on from their recent acclaimed collaborations on Solomun’s ‘Tuk Tuk’, championed by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1 and ‘Weirdo’ with 11-piece techno marching band Meute, ‘Smile’ is a scintillatingly bizarre and sumptuous track moulded in ÄTNA’s fresh inimitable style.

The accompanying video clip is visually striking, minimalist statement. They say: “In the music video for ‘Smile’, we go new ways this time and escape to a place between dream and disturbance, where a fleeting smile distorts space and time. Echoes from the future become déjà vu. Hypnotic and intangible. Unsurprisingly, our new song comes as a surprise; dry yet dubby, ballad-esque yet beat driven – a strive for acceptance of dark passengers who will always be a part of the whole.”

ÄTNA are creating groundbreaking avant-garde pop from scratch, hitting a career milestone of over 1 million Spotify listeners a month, with over 40 million Spotify streams across their catalogue and NMF features in Germany, Switzerland, UK, Mexico, Türkiye, CZ, Greece, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.

They create a completely unique sound that is free of any stylistic conventions. Their style is indefinable, their stage presence immense, their creativity boundless: ÄTNA have achieved what many consider impossible in these times. From the underground to one of the most sought-after live acts in Europe and, at the same time, one of the most innovative new electronic music projects. The mission statement was as steep as it was hard for the duo, and yet, at least since their impressive debut “Made By Desire” (2020), Inéz and Demian know only one direction: up.
