Aurora has kicked off 2019 with a new track, Animal.
The offbeat pop anthem arrives via Decca Records and follows last autumn's surprise release of 'Infections Of A Different Kind – Step 1, having been recorded during the same sessions. Its accompanying video was directed by Tim Mattia, who explained the process behind the clip:
"It was great to be invited to go inside Aurora's head for a little bit of time while we worked on this project together. It was a hugely collaborative experience, and I think that can be seen on screen, as our ideas and aesthetics melded together to create the video. She is such a unique and talented artist, who looks at the world in a very fresh and unusual way; which in turn seemed to affect everyone around her, especially on the shoot day itself, entirely positively. Looking forward to doing it again!"
The Norwegian-based artist added:
"I spend a lot of time thinking about humans. And I wanted to make a song wrapped in a blanket of obliviousness whilst speaking the wonderful and horrible truth that I see in us. We are always thriving for something. If it’s love, money, sex, success, power or just a bigger piece of a delicious chocolate cake. It’s very interesting. Its grotesque. It’s beautiful. We are always hunting for something. We are animals hunting for animals."
She'll spend the majority of 2019 on the road with dates confirmed across North America leading up to spring. Tickets are on sale now.
