Amber Arcades has shared a video for her new track, Goodnight Europe.
The song is Annelotte De Graaf's first new offering since last year's 'Cannonball' EP, while the clip is part one of a trilogy of short films set to be released.
Speaking about the song, she said:
"I guess about half of it is me actually being worried about the current state of the Union. The other half is me kind of messing around with, and making fun of, this archetype of the tiresome existentialist academic in me."
Discussing the video, meanwhile, director Elliott Arndt said:
"A lot of the themes Annelotte wrote about for her record struck very close to home. What I found especially poignant in her lyrics is how it’s mostly through a study of herself and a nonchalant look outside her window that Annelotte makes us get a sense of the political turmoil that’s affecting her. In that respect, I was interested in trying to represent this sense of “banality” in a young adult couple in 2018, who are not only the fruit of a vibrant European Union, but also perhaps the ones most directly affected by its dismantling. I wanted to depict a static, homesick, glitchy romance. And here it is, trying all it can to grow against, amongst and beyond the constricting geographical barriers surrounding it.”
The Dutch singer-songwriter will return to the UK this summer for headline dates and festival sets at Bluedot, Green Man and Festival No.6.
