Music News - Mermaidens release new video for 'Fade'
19 April 2018 - 0 Comments
Fade, the fourth single off Mermaidens' Taite Prize
nominated album Perfect
Body is released today, accompanied by a slow moving, moody
music video, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Julian Vares and the band's longtime
collaborator Ezra
Simons, the music video for Fade is a mature visual development
for Mermaidens.
Mermaidens are a three-piece outfit from Wellington, who are renowned for their intricate and unique songwriting, boldly
raw but increasingly refined studio production, and a hypnotic live synergy
that leaves audiences enchanted.
Their entrance onto the NZ music scene was extremely strong following the releases of their widely acclaimed debut EP O in 2014 and subsequent album Undergrowth in 2016. As a result, they were offered dozens of national shows and international support slots, which led to them being picked up by Flying Nun Records, who released the band’s first international album, Perfect Body last year.
Filmed late on a Saturday night at Freyberg Pool on Wellington's Oriental Parade, the video features award-winning choreographer and dancer Zahra Killeen-Chance. The iconic 1960's building provided the perfect setting for Zahra's disjointed and expressive movements. The band, made up of Gussie Larkin, Lily West and Abe Hollingsworthare shown performing somewhat introspectively, in an empty, dimly room.
Gussiedescribes the song as; "An intimate look at sacrifices and promises we make to someone we're truly entranced by. It's the moment of surrender to another in the middle of a deserted, smokey dancefloor".
