WL//WH Premiere THE MICRODANCE
Founded in 2012, The Microdance is the multifaceted Alternative Rock band led and conceived by Hackney, London denizen, musician and composer Alex Keevill, whose latest video, shot by Blair Jollands, for “Moxie Moxie – Neon Pink on Black”, a song taken from the 2022 EP “URGENCY IN DEAD AIR”, via Brighton-based independent label Shore Dive Records, WL//WH is pleased to premiere.
The 9:10 sec long track contains three guitar solos, and unfolds the drumming, engineering, and co-production of Nikolaj Bjerre and the vocals of Bridget Walsh, to explore personal responsibility through a lens of reality and romance. It reminds me of a romantic drama, with an engaging male/female vocal interplay set against an epic, at times chaotic backdrop of vibrant, distorted and ringing high energy 6-string-laden moods. Walsh’s vocals are dreamy yet angsty, at times joined with Keevill’s or backed by his tension-releasing screams to evoke a deep sense of struggle and pain. There is an introspective surreal end that reflects life’s natural rhythms of high/low, or introversion/extroversion, however you want to look at it, but the song is very human, emotional, and curiosity piquing, definitely worth a listen.
An imaginative blend of a sunny countryside performance by The Microdance and comedic interpretations with Blair Jollands sync seamlessly with the uninhibited mood of the soundtrack. Neon lyrics add an unexpected messaging flair to the visuals, whilst role-play scenes set a fun feeling of boundless artistic expression. Quick change wardrobes such as a gold sequined shirt, priest collar, and an array of masks merge with blurry trace overlays and disconnected flows, lending a surreal psychedelic vision to accompany the musical composition.
