Lux Lyall Shares 'Switchblade Baby' Video

London’s upcoming starlet Lux Lyall arrives with the video for her seductive new single ‘Switchblade Baby’. A songwriter and poet, Lux melds glamorous Old-Hollywood noir with modern, dark pop sensibilities, laced with an enchanting mystique channeling PJ Harvey, Lana Del Rey and instrumentation reminiscent of the Bad Seeds.

‘Switchblade Baby’ is a luscious and enticing affair, layered with an elegant arrangement that waltzes beneath Lux’s emotive and sultry voice. The David Lynch-esque video focuses on Lux as she passionately performs to an offbeat audience against a dazzling, glitzy backdrop.

“As I was writing the song, the ‘Switchblade Baby’ character kinda evolved into this patron saint of broken women who aren’t ready to throw in the towel,” explains Lux. “They're smart as a whip and take no shit - Just gimme a minute to slap on some lipstick, take a sip of my drink and remember who I am. I’ll be just fine.”

‘Switchblade Baby’ is Lux’s second single, following the release of debut ‘Teeth’ back in July. “Teeth’s about the emotional struggle of mental illness,” says Lux. “It’s about being cold, sarcastic and defiant towards those who love you, and then desperate and full of self-hate when you realise there’s no-one left to kick down the bathroom door when you need them. It’s about surviving your own madness and surviving yourself.”

The B-sides to ‘Teeth’ (‘Among the Water, Among the Weeds’) and ‘Switchblade Baby’ (Milk Thistles) are poems taken from Lux’s self-published collection 'St Valentine'.

With a full album on the way, Lux’s bewitching style and poetic artistry combines to create a charmingly addictive aura that will draw you into a world of evocative and striking storytelling.

 

 

Krakow Loves Adana New Single

Kraków Loves Adana are a Hamburg-based duo of Deniz Çiçek and her partner Robert Heitmann. Having recently just signed to Italians Do It Better (Chromatics, Desire, Glass Candy), the band are sharing their new single ‘Follow The Voice’ online now.

Kraków Loves Adana formed in 2006 after eyeing each other for months at the same nightclubs in Germany. The group’s guitar-driven electronic ballads echo dream pop with a melancholic edge.

On ‘Follow The Voice’ Johnny Jewel produces the band’s debut single for Italians Do It Better. Deniz Çiçek’s exposed, haunting vocal melodies crash against vivid synthesizers & heavy rhythms to create something unforgettable. Complementing the sonic landscape of label staples like Chromatics & Desire, Kraków Loves Adana will be in direct support of both acts on stage for the European leg of the Double Exposure World tour.

The video is directed by the band themselves in Hamburg. Through hypnosis by pendulum, Deniz Çiçek falls into a trance like state - led by a voice, guiding her through a domain that exists just below the threshold of consciousness.
