Video Premiere: Alev Lenz –‘Memphis’

The first fruit born of a collaboration with much-lauded Finnish drummer, Samuli Kosminen (Jónsi, Hauschka, Múm), the b-side of German singer and producer Alev Lenz‘ debut UK single, ‘Memphis‘, is a pristine slice of escapist balladry: the sound of a woman dreaming of breaking free from the shackles of romantic oppression and searching for something new. Guided along by tinker-toy drum rolls and music box glimmers, fragile doesn’t even begin to describe this one; and yet, it struggles on, much like Lenz’ lyrical runaway.

The track’s accompanying clip, appropriately enough, is without doubt one of the prettiest we’ve seen all year. Making dexterous use of projections and silhouettes, it sees a sheet-adorned Lenz bounding and spiraling gracefully beneath a sea of lights, moving with an equal degree of revelry and melancholy. Affecting stuff, to say the least:
