I’MMORTAL Redefines Avant-Pop with the Mind-Blowing ‘Uncanny Valley’ Video

I’MMORTAL’s captivating music video for ‘Uncanny Valley’, launched April 16, 2025, via KALTBLUT Magazine, showcases her as a trailblazing avant-pop force. Based in New York and London, this California native—doubling as producer, vocalist, visual artist, and creative director—ignited her career in 2023 with the tech-house hit ‘Versace Spaceship’. Tracks like ‘Supervillain’ and ‘KILLED U IN A DREAM’ have garnered over 250,000 Spotify streams, with remixes by Droid Bishop and biskuwi featured on NewRetroWave and DJ Mag Spain. Lauded by CLASH Magazine, EARMILK, and NOTION, I’MMORTAL blends EDM’s raw basslines with influences from Björk, SOPHIE, and Sevdaliza, enchanting fans of Billie Eilish or Pastel Ghost. Her violin-honed composition skills and theatrical roots fuel synesthetic visuals that explore AAPI identity, femininity, and the organic-synthetic divide.

The ‘Uncanny Valley’ track is a glitchy avant-pop vortex, fusing creaky soundscapes, sharp trap beats, and autotuned vocals into a pulsating club bridge that evaporates into futuristic hums. Directed by Victoria Gong, the video is a stark sci-fi vision, with I’MMORTAL facing her robotic clone in scenes echoing Gong’s chilling aesthetic from her 2022 short Echoes of You. The clone imagery—central to the Turing test and Dove Che’s visceral dance-fight—mirrors pop culture’s obsession with doubles, like Prince’s split personas in ‘Kiss’ or Kylie Minogue’s doppelgängers in ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’. Clones in music videos often probe self-conflict or societal cloning of identity, and here, I’MMORTAL’s battle suggests a fight to preserve individuality against a homogenized, tech-driven culture. Gong’s dynamic framing, akin to her 2023 Zoe Kazi video ‘Flicker’, elevates this narrative with haunting precision.

I’MMORTAL shared: “I really love incorporating movement into my videos, so I was super excited when Victoria came up with the brilliant idea of having a choreographed fight scene that is also an abstract dance piece.” This passion for movement shines through in the video’s climactic dance-fight, a testament to the collaborative brilliance of Gong, Dove Che, and body double KiKi Song. ‘Uncanny Valley’ is more than a music video—it’s a bold statement on identity and autonomy in an era dominated by technology. With its gripping visuals and pulsating sound, I’MMORTAL not only pays homage to the provocative pop aesthetics of the past but also carves a daring path forward, inviting viewers to question what it means to be human in a world of mirrors. This release solidifies her as an artist to watch, pushing avant-pop into thrilling new territory.

Dave Curl – Soulful singer-songwriter releases ‘Don’t Talk Anymore’ Single & Video

Independent Australian-Swiss singer-songwriter and producer Dave Curl releases his iconic single & video ’Don’t Talk Anymore’. He recently released a unique sophomore LP, Lockdown – Seven Nations, on February 23, 2024. Boasting over 1.5 million streams on Spotify, airplay on numerous indie radio stations in Germany and abroad. With performances in the respected Kulturkoller Club and around 20 other locations, Dave Curl has shown no signs of slowing down. The prolific performer has released nearly two dozen singles, two EPs, and the 2021 full-length album, Introducing. His newest project promises listeners an infectious and thought-provoking concoction of rock and roll.

With a glitchy introduction ‘Don’t Talk Anymore’ beckons the listener with bluesy guitar and an edgy bass line with a syncopated drum groove in a classic tone. Dave Curl offers up an electrifying rock track connected to the times. In the animated lyric video we are introduced to Dave in stillness, observing reality through virtually reality goggles. With scenes of life unfolding behind him, he identifies the indifference a tech-infused lifestyle creates.

Dave Curl shared: ‘Don’t Talk Anymore’ captures the modern epidemic of disconnection, as people immerse themselves in smartphones rather than meaningful conversation. Inspired by a train journey through the Italian part of Switzerland, Dave Curl was struck by the eerie silence of fellow passengers glued to their screens. Expecting lively chatter, he instead found an irritating scene of silence. This moment sparked the idea of ‘Don’t Talk Anymore’. The song serves as an ironic reminder of the importance of meaningful communication in an increasingly virtual world.
