For a group of musicians looking to escape the confines of lockdown and immerse themselves in some semblance of a life they recognised, the Isle of Lewis may seem a strange choice. After all, the Outer Hebrides are not renowned for hustle and bustle..
Elisabeth Elektra, the Glasgow-based goth-pop performer who also plays in Silver Moth alongside members of Mogwai (Stuart Braithwaite) and Evi Vine, has an electrifying new solo single out today. Titled “The Dream,” Elektra’s latest follows their 2020 debut LP Mercurial and has a video helmed by BAFTA-winning Scottish director Tim Courtney. It’s also choreographed by Monika Smekot. “The song and visuals reflect the initiatory nature of relationship breakdowns that often culminate in increased personal power and connection to and expression of ones true will,” Elektra says.
