Luna Shadows releases enchanting video for 'little rituals'

01 Feb, 2024
Luna Shadows has delivered yet another breathtaking visual accompanyment to her music - the video for 'little rituals' is beautiful, colourful, enchanting, joyous and also poignant. The film was directed, produced and co-edited by Shadows herself, alongside a team of LA based creatives in the mountains of Topanga in California. “This was my first video shot on film (16mm), which was both exciting and challenging,” says Shadows. “When dealing with film, you do not have infinite takes, so you need to have a plan - especially when you are both director and subject. I did not grow up with much formal dance training, and I do not consider myself a very competent dancer - but I love to dance, and I could not imagine this video without joyous movement. So I took a lot of dance classes and rehearsed the choreography for several months with my dance instructor/choreographer (Cati Jean).”

Emma Dilemma drops playful new single and visualiser ‘Bed All Day’

30 Nov, 2023
Kazoo hooks, grungy guitars and hook-laden melodies - there is nothing not to love about Ōtautahi's Emma Dilemma's new track ‘Bed All Day’. Both the video and song create a perfect storm of a juxtaposition; it’s both cheerful and complicated, light-hearted and existential, creating the perfect soundtrack for modern times and showcasing Emma Dilemma’s undeniable skill for articulating complex and relatable themes in musical form. “‘Bed All Day’ reflects my playful side; my tendency to take something that’s bringing me down and make fun of it,” says Emma. “When I’m in darker spaces emotionally, I tend to act out with drugs and alcohol which keeps me stuck in bed all day beating myself up, and getting increasingly more anxious about my adult responsibilities that I’m abandoning.”

24 Nov, 2023
Mel Parsons has unveiled a gorgeous new video for her latest single 'Offer Down'. Beautifully shot with tasteful colours and a simple concept, the end result is captivating and draws focus to the lyrics. “‘Offer Down’ had been kicking around for a while; the lyrical idea was a bit of a view into the slog behind the scenes and the idea that the overnight success is usually preceded by a lot of rejection and persistence,” says Parsons.
