Made in the night-time, for the night-time, ‘Chemistry’ was written after an eerie after-hours drive from Vienna to Prague earlier this year. Surrounded by a dense and ethereal fog, the unsettling journey felt reminiscent of a scene from a lost David Lynch film.
In a DIY new video for ‘Chemistry’, the band piece together a montage of surrealist imagery and intimate performance. Soundtracked by the propulsive electronica of the new single, the video finds the band paying homage to Lynchian works like Twin Peaks, while referencing that inspirational late-night drive of their own.
“The video is homemade, but I think the vibe fits the song and mood quite well” says Teresa Woischiski, vocalist of The Ghost of Helags. “We put together moods and images that fit the vibe of the song. The last scene especially is a reminder of the night drive from Vienna to Prague, where the song was created.”
