Se Delan, the dark, alternative, new-wave duo made up of multi-instrumentalist Justin Greaves and Swedish singer Belinda Kordic, has launched an animated music video for the track “Shadowbox(ers)” from its forthcoming sophomore album, Drifter, due for release via Kscope on April 29 (May 20 in France). Stream the eerie “Shadowbox(ers)” music video, directed by Philippe Blain (www.pblainpb.wix.com/pblain), on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMg31jZaRAk or Vimeo at: https://vimeo.com/160877345.

Se Delan vocalist Belinda Kordic comments on the video: “Regarding the choice of director…We just loved Philippe’s old school animation and his wacky ideas. We were secretly hoping for a pitch from an animator and the crazier the better. Didn’t look too promising if we may say so ourselves, but then, there he was. He was right up our alley.  ‘Shadowbox(ers),’ one could say covers the old cliché ‘good vs. evil’…within your own ball court.”

The follow-up to 2014’s The Fall, Se Delan set about to make an album that felt raw, more natural and human. Together with their shared influences (“music, film and life”) and a mutual understanding of the way each other works has led to Se Delan creating an album that musically and lyrically looks at madness and how the line between sanity and insanity can at times appear frighteningly thin.

.

Drifter takes the slow and dreamy nature of the music from the duo’s debut album The Fall and moves it to a far darker place through the lyrics and layers of sound that pulsate throughout the record. By giving up all pretentions and just following their hearts, Justin and Belinda recorded (with Ritchie Chappell at Tripdown Studio) in a way that simply captures how they felt as humanly as possible.

Drifter is available to pre-order now on CD and 180g black vinyl via the Kscope store at: www.kscopemusic.com/store. Digital pre-orders include an instant download of “Going Home” and are available at: https://smarturl.it/DRIFTER_DIGITAL.
