MIGMA SHELTER – Rabiddo
The MV for “Rabiddo” came out yesterday and I lost count of how many times I watched it. The word awesome doesn’t even begin to describe the greatness of this group. If you don’t believe me, give it a try and tell me I’m wrong. I dare you.
First of all: the dark fantasy, fable-like setting of the video. Psychedelic music aims to bring your mind to some other world and that’s what we’re experiencing through this video. Among colorful visuals and the killing of a rabbit in a forest, you’ll soon be asking yourself what kind of drug they are injecting in your brain through their music.
Surprisingly (or maybe not), the song is even more bizarre. Making use any kind of emotion you can think of, “Rabiddo” features strings playing cheerful but also melancholic melodies, while the beat are a real rollercoaster going from really intense to very quiet and calming, not to mention the usual trance rhythms which are basically a trademark of Migma Shelter‘s music. The haunting voices of the six girls not only complete, but also improve the otherworldly feelings emanating from this song, sometimes singing as if they were shamans.
This weird evolution of Migma Shelter‘s sound is getting more and more interesting; just like “Y” blew my mind when it came out, “Rabiddo” is an equally stunning song. Their new album ALICE will be released at the end of July and I seriously can’t wait.
