Australian cinematic gothic act The Effigy, the solo effort of Effy Gold, has produced a haunting offering in "Deliver Me". From delicate harp melodies and distorted guitars to cinematic layers and Effy's enchanting vocals, the new single is a magnificent addition to its ethereal discography.
The Effigy comments: "Depression sometimes felt like otherworldly possession; as if something else was piloting me. I said and did things that I never thought I would say or do. At times, I didn't recognise myself. I was withdrawn and bitter and frightened. I felt like I was constantly battling a demon that was hollowing me out and I just wanted it to end. I wanted to be free".
The Effigy also explains the vision behind the video: "I wanted the video to feel claustrophobic and chaotic; a constant onslaught of aggressive motion. That's the feeling behind the writing of this song and so that's what the video needed to portray. I drew inspiration from alternative rock videos from the late 1990s and early 2000s. I've always loved the excessive use of textures and grit they employed to elicit that grungy feel".
