The Orielles have released a new video accompaniment for ‘Darkened Corner’, cut from their recent fourth album, ‘Tableau’.
The single was originally featured on their recent fourth album, ‘Tableau’, which arrived on October 7th via Heavenly Recordings. The 16-track contemporary work was co-produced by the band alongside Joel Anthony Patchett (King Krule, Tim Burgess)
“‘Darkened Corners’ is one of the collective favourites of the album for us,” the Yorkshire trio share. “Its musical narrative best describes emotionally what creating this record felt like for us. We wanted to create this kind of Krauty, super rigid and formulaic first part where everything happens in these repeated cycles. Then as the song starts to turn darker we created this spiralling passage where you should feel like you don’t really have a sense of time of where home is moving into this intense manic phase as Sid puts it the drums try to break free from the old ways into this blissful new world.”
The new music video is the group’s first film co-directed by frequent collaborator Neelam Khan Vela. “The video honours Neelam‘s photography work as we see through her lens and thus the video’s main character resembles a shadow in a photo,” The Orielles explain. “Meanwhile we are paying homage to photographer Lee Friedlander, retracing the steps of an exhibition seen in Berlin last October which inspired the lyrics for the track. As we recreate some of the iconic work of Friedlander, placing ourselves within his frames, we map the symbiosis of two photographers becoming one.”
