Music News - Lontalius premieres with Coup De Main

After releasing his debut
LP I'll Forget
17 earlier this year, Lontalius (Eddie Johnston) is
back today to share a final music video from the album. The unique video for
the song Light Shines
Through The Dust was shot with an old technique called
Camera Obscura by filmmaker Arty
Papageorgiou. The method that uses light and shadow to create
an image was the perfect instrument to use
in visualizing Lontalius' Light Shines
Through Dust - a song which about time, melancholy and
sincerity. The images a Camera Obscura creates are as soft and sensitive as the
song.
The Camera Obscura or pin hole camera, works by capturing light in a dark
place, which is very much the world Lontalius' music lives in. The idea was to
capture where the mind wonders when someone is sitting alone in their room,
reminiscing the beauty of memories passed. The seasonal miniatures were placed
in a box and transported to some of Lontalius' favorite places in
Wellington. The video is made up of over 4000 photos stitched together
much like a time-lapse.
In the short time that he has been making music, Lontalius has gone from making
bedroom-pop remixes to making fully developed, raw and relatable love songs; made
fans out of fellow New Zealand stars Lorde and Troye Sivan, collaborated with Ty Dolla $ign and Ryan Hemsworth (including releasing several tracks on Hemsworth's Secret Songs);
and garnered praise from fans and press alike. Johnston is currently living in
Los Angeles working on the follow up to his debut.
I'll Forget 17 is
now available on all digital retailers and physical format via
Partisan Records / Inertia / Rhythmethod.
