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.
This month in Scottish music makes the perfect prelude to Summer. Not only do April's upbeat releases capture the changing of the seasons, but they'll whet your appetite for a feast of festivals later this year.
