Scottish atmospheric/post/progressive-rock outfit Midas Fall returns with something trully big! The band now presents the first single/video from the upcoming album entitled Cold Waves Divide Us. The album is set to be released on 8 March 2024 via Monotreme Records. The spectacular dark sci-fi video for the album title track, "Cold Waves Divide Us", was made by Sharon Ritossa and Gabriele Ottino of Riot Studio.
The music builds slowly as Elizabeth Heaton's voice floats gracefully above the growing force beneath it, against a racing visual landscape of "nature, but not-quite-as-we-know-it".
According to Ottino: "We aimed to imbue this music video with the ambiance of a dystopian jungle. Nature is genetically altered by the virus of a hypercapitalist and hyperproductive civilization, where technology begins to gain consciousness. Instead of annihilating humans and plants, it opts to adapt and modify itself to exist within the bodies and limbs of those who have survived Earth's catastrophes. No one perishes, no one lives as they did before; everything undergoes transformation. The technique used is a mixed technique, combining footage, 3D, pure generative, and they were edited to create a narrative foundation. The next step involved passing various sections of the video through the AI Stable Diffusion tool to create surreal and unique environments, suggestions, forms, and textures."
The album sees Midas Fall at their most confidently visceral, each song moving beautifully between quiet and loud, gentle and crushing. "This album is a heavier and bigger experience than the last album", says Heaton. "We kept the atmospheric strings and 80s synths of Evaporate (2018) but wanted to add heavier layered elements, to represent more what we sound like live."
