BESS - Documents Traumatic Journey With No Cover

Alternative/darkwave artist Bess, known from industrial act WhiteCauldron, just recently unveiled her new full-length album, No Cover. No Cover is a document of loss and trauma; an album whose themes chronicle events including personal loss and the difficulties suffered by the Covid-19 pandemic including the lockdowns. Bess is presently working on a video for the song, "What A Fool Believes" - a homage to her brother who she lost to Covid-19.

Below you can watch Bess' recent video for the song "Tyrants". She comments about it: "I (unknowingly) had COVID when I shot that video. I was excruciatingly fatigued and in pain. Even so, timing was of the essence. I had to get that music video out because of what had just happened: The January 6th Insurrection. I didn't use a storyboard for the video. Instead, I set the camera, green screen, bass, props/costumes and took footage with the song playing in the background. I used footage from the news coverage of the January 6th Insurrection. The green screen really helped bring it together. The 80's styling of black & white, cartoon filters and various color adjustments in a number of filters creates this sort of surreal journey into the past stylistically, while commenting on the present day political atmosphere. It's intentionally punk & post-punk cinematography, to transport the viewer into an eerie vision of present-day hardships." Link
