Italian avant-garde/folk/post-rock trio Elle just released their debut eponymous album via Seahorse Recordings, and on this occasion the band also shared a new video for the song "Blind Mirror". This song talks about not recognising your own face's reflection. It's a song about the loss of identities, about walking randomly in a psychic labyrinth, with walls covered in wadding. Two voices, male and female, follow each other in circles, floating around columns of repetitive synths, and slow, very slow ripples of guitars. Video was directed by Stefano Cormino and you can watch it in the player below.
The album was written during the March severe lockdown, and it sounds like a black and white minimal photo, with trees covered in mist. Or like an organ playing at the bottom of a cathedral's nave, with rays of light cutting the dusty darkness from the top. The spread of the pandemic in March pushed limitation and constrictions. Many established bands went to a halt or stand by because of this, but Elle found instead motivation to concentrate, at distance, on writing and arranging more songs.
Elle are Marco Calderano, Miriam Fornari and Danilo Ramon Giannini. They found musical inspiration in Peter Gabriel, Brian Eno, David Sylvian, the Louisville (Chicago) scene of Tortoise and June Of 44, from the everlasting sadness and beauty of Elliot Smith and Nick Drake. Link
