Maer release new music video for ‘Sister’
MAER have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Sister, is the debut single from the dark folk/chamber prog duo, featuring IAMTHEMORNING‘s Marjana Semkina and CELLAR DARLING/ex-ELUVEITIE‘s Anna Murphy.
The new music video was directed by Eggor Kree and the debut single from MAER features guest appearances from NE OBLIVISCARIS guitarist Benjamin Baret and AGENT FRESCO drummer Keli Guðjónsson.
Speaking about the debut song, Marjana says, “we’re very excited to have Benji from NE OBLIVISCARIS and Keli from AGENT FRESCO on this song. I rarely play guitar on studio versions of my songs and and the fact that I played on this one is quite special – but it became much easier with the support of Benji‘s wonderfully musical guitar and Keli‘s beautiful drums. And of course, Anna‘s guidance in the studio.”
On the video, Marjana continues, “this has been a journey. A few years ago I put together a team of wonderful people and it’s the seventh project and a third music video we’re all making together, and Eggor has been my long term collaborator for almost a decade now. It’s always a joy to reconnect with them all creatively and by now they know me and my aesthetics quite well so working with them again felt like coming home. I think they’ve outdone themselves this time. Eggor‘s work with light was always quite special but I think it really shines (I’m sorry) in this particular video, and his camera work is beautiful. Making an engaging video for a six minutes long song is a tricky affair but I believe it all came together wonderfully. This is just the beginning of our project, we’ve got so many dark fairytales to tell the world.”
Anna concludes, “Eggor and his team did an incredible job in visualising the music Marjana and I created. We’re very much a DIY project; we don’t set ourselves any creative limitations, we recorded everything in my studio in Lucerne, I mixed and mastered it myself, and needless to say, we’ve financed it all ourselves as well. So we rely on the support of amazing creatives around us and our trust in Eggor has more than paid off!”
