Video Of The Day Die Noia Futuriszka
It’s hard to believe four years have passed since Die Noia Futuriszka (DNF), the multifaceted Post Punk / Shoegaze project of experienced Buenos Aires-based musician and composer Ferran Pont Vergés first appeared on WL//WH with the thought-provoking visuals for “Horizonte de un salón.”
Die Noia Futuriszka’s latest video release, “El Mal,” uses clips from the 1961 oneiric experimental French masterpiece “El Año Pasado En Marienbad / L’Année dernière a Marienbad”, by director and Nouvelle Vague inspirator Alain Resnais, to explore a Jungian Dark Night of the Soul experience.
The single previews DNF’s forthcoming studio album “Fiesta de Huesos” to be released later in the year via fellow Argentinian label No Me Escucho Records.
“El Mal” a light buzzing veil lingers atop a deep well of impassioned wistfully sparkling guitar melodies, flowing over steady drum beats and pulsing bass lines with moody, swaying intensities, encircling pensive, downtrodden vocals, seemingly suffering alone, with both warm emotional and cold sterile tones. When the music stops, an eerie, slowed down, distorted voice delivers an undecipherable message that the lyrics reveal is about whether to transform oneself now, or in the future.
DNF syncs the beautiful vintage aesthetic of Alain Resnais’ 1961 labyrinthine movie “El Año Pasado En Marienbad” with the psychological conflict of the soundtrack. While watching the clip, it is difficult not to get lost in the grand baroque architectural design or the flawless head to toe Chanel fashion. However, the nonlinear time, symbols, and perspective are all key components to understanding the duality of the human mind. The end is ideal, perhaps a resolution, where after a violent murder we see the heroine as an angel in white, opening her arms with comfort, into a blinding light.
