The shoegaze/darkwave act Chandeen is back with an all new video for the track “Vanish”. The track is taken from the band’s new album “Mercury Retrograde” out February 28, 2020. It will be the band’s tenth studio album and it will be released digitally and physically (CD and an 180g vinyl edition). Here’s the video: Singer Julia Beyer tells a bit more about the video: “So so proud of this, as we again produced the video on our own, with the filming and concept done by me. And it was so great to work with Luisa again who is so beautiful it hurts and did such an amazing job! And especially the invaluable helping hand (or in this case: choking hand) and laughter with/by Jens made the stressful shoot much more enjoyable.” Chandeen, then and now Chandeen was formed in Frankfurt am Main, in 1990, Harald Löwy and Oliver Henkel right at the moment when the darkwave scene knew its primal burst. From the middle of the 1990s, the band’s style changed to a more pop-oriented sound with influences from rock and trip hop.

‘Click Interview’ with Mental Exile: ‘Mental Exile Is My Way To Talk, To Feel And To See Around Me’
Mental Exile is a Spanish solo-project set up by Mondträume singer Damasius Venysthe. We last year discovered Mental Exile by the EP “Exile Nights” revealing a great retro electro-pop approach.

What incited me to give it the importance that it deserves and to share it with the […]
