Iamthemorning release new live video for ‘5/4’

IAMTHEMORNING have released a new live video!

The new live video, for the track 5/4, is taken from the Russian duo’s upcoming new studio film Ocean Sounds which is scheduled to be released in October.

The album and film was shot at and named after a remote recording studio on Giske, a Norwegian island and captures the band’s live set-up from the last three years, with the setlist consisting of songs from their first three studio albums and an unplugged recording of Blue Sea, the first track to be written for their upcoming fourth album and exclusive to this Blu-ray disc.

Speaking about the track, vocalist and songwriter Marjana Semkin says, “we usually say that 5/4 is one of the two cheerful songs we have in our discography, the second one being about burning houses down! To me, it feels that when you grow up and live in Russia, specifically in St Petersburg, everything you do is soaked up in this very special type of melancholy, which makes it difficult to write happy music. This song was always a very nice change from the ongoing drama of our live setlist which is usually filled with images of drowning women, dead flowers and people buried alive. Besides, it’s always very lovely to see the audience engaging and clapping along with us.”
