“Life is but a dream, within a dream” – William Shakespeare Shimmering beach scenes, nightly forests, animated doves and other superficial animation tricks – there’s a lot happening in “Tru Nature” … tell us a bit about the clip, JJ. A lot is going on here, so happily invite you to dive deep into the Discovery Zone right here.
Today, NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION not only premieres that music video but also delivers an extended and insightful chat with JJ Weihl about the state of the artist in these times, humanity’s weird relationship with media as well as the troubled one with Mother Nature. If you happen to love dreamy analogue synth-patterns, drum computer love, claps, chimes and reverbed vocals then this is your record.īut besides the interesting sound design, Remote Control also comes with an interesting concept in terms of story and aesthetics, one that manifests pretty well in the record’s closing track Tru Nature and the music video for it. It’s a shimmering piece of dreamy synthpop, inspired by retro-futuristic sound vibes and the difficult relationship between mankind and technology. The multidisciplinary American artist who has been a vital part of the Berlin underground scene for a decade now with her acclaimed main band Fenster recent released her pretty great debut solo album Remote Control under her Discovery Zone alias. In the weird year of Covid-19 artists are facing questions like these on a regular basis and JJ Weihl even made an entire album around it.
The future is now! Or maybe the way we envision it is just a memory from the past anyway.
