If you caught our previous post, you will know that we are releasing “The Golden Hour” to all usual digital platforms on May 25th.

Up until now, you could only hear the album if you pre-ordered a physical copy or by attending one of our Golden Hour Listening Parties. These have been great fun and it would be a shame to stop these, so as the weather gets nicer, we will organise one listening party a month in various places around the globe, starting with Tokyo on April 8th.

About a year ago we released an album called “The Golden Hour”. Physical copies were limited to pre-order and streaming was only possible by attending our Golden Hour Listening Parties.

Now’s the time to also release it everywhere else, so on May 25th the album will be available to stream/buy in full on all the usual digital platforms!

To celebrate this our friend Dorna Aslanzadeh has made a spectacular and haunting video for “End of the World”. You might remember her stellar work from some of our previous videos and she doesn’t disappoint this time either. Using facetracking animations and the concept of death masks she has created a fitting film to a rather dark song, perfectly complementing S. Husky Hoskulds’ beautifully creative mix treatment.

Have a look, have a listen and enjoy!

Dorna says:

“I have, through facetracking animation, allowed different death masks to come to life and perform the song. Historically death masks were used to capture a persons face after they passed. The ancient Egyptians would bury their dead with the mask to help the spirit find their body in the afterlife, whereas in the Middle Ages the death mask became a way of remembering the deceased. To me, this strange and beautiful song evokes a feeling of something speaking from elsewhere, so the idea of a kind of infinite transcendental being mourning all things lost became the starting point for making this film.”

We say:

“The song is inspired by the tragic events of a mother of three, who crashed herself and her children into an oncoming bus whilst talking on the phone to her husband, who was sitting on that same bus. It also takes in a Werner Herzog movie and the importance of always having your bags packed in case of the worst happening.”
