Vola release new music video for ‘Alien Shivers’

VOLA have released a brand new music video!

The animated video, for the track Alien Shivers, is taken from the band’s upcoming album Applause Of A Distant Crowd, which is scheduled for release in October.

The video was created by bassist Nicolai Mogensen and Anne Nørkjær Bang. Speaking about the process of creating the video, they say, “we’ve been looking much forward to sharing this video for the track Alien Shivers with you. It’s made by just the two of us and almost entirely by hand, so it is indeed a very personal project. We are both happy amateurs in the field of animation, but we’ve put a lot of hours, effort and love into this video, which we hope will shine through! The storyline of the video is loosely inspired by a short story by the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges called The Circular Ruins (1940) in which a mysterious, anonymous man set himself on a task to dream a human being and make it come to life. We think it somehow relates quite well to the lyrics Asger created for the song, even though we did not intend to make a video that “explains” or picturize the lyrics in any way. Another great inspiration is Yuri Norsteins beautiful film Tale of Tales (1979), which sparked our fascination for stop motion animation in the first place.”
