Based in Malmo, Sweden the musical project is centred on the Danish singer, guitarist and songwriter Martin Ejlertsen.<\/p>\n<p>The creation of the band\u2019s forthcoming third album &#8216;Horizons&#8217; began in early 2015, with Ejlertsen taking stock of their catalogue to date, and looking for a new vantage point from which to approach his music. With a desire to make a dark pop record with razor-sharp rock songs, new material slowly began to unfold in a basement studio, deep underground in Copenhagen, where the band twisted their ideas and sketches in co-operation with a new drummer, Viktor H\u00f6ber, and producer\/ engineer and fellow musician Christian Ki.<\/p>\n<p>Citing film as a huge influence on his music \u2013 in particular the works of David Lynch and Danish film maker Nicolas Winding Refn \u2013 Ejlertsen began to experiment in coupling Lynch-ian concepts of duality, visions, and dream states, with the bloody self-destruction and gallows humour that pervades Refn\u2019s work. With one eye on the Factory Records era, Horizons introduces undulating keyboards as a new and fundamental element of the sound, making the songs breezy yet intrusive, with harmonies and chiming delay guitars under attack with fuzz, all enveloped in dark and pervasive melancholic melodies.<\/p>\n<p>Ejlertsen talks about new single <em>King Kong<\/em>: <em>&#8220;The theme to King Kong deals with a personal craving for wild passion that hits you so hard, that your life is turned upside down. The constant striving after the ultimate state where lived life and uncontrollable emotions are lifting you up in a new state of mind &#8211; like a drug of love. Like something you strive after but really cannot explain. It is beautiful and also terrifying scary. Like a monster. It attracts and repels at one time&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;This song was the first written for the new album. And one of the hardest songs I&#8217;ve done to record. Mainly because it really took some time to figure out the right structure and how to catch the right atmosphere. We did a lot of rebuilding, editing back and forward in the studio with this one, but in the end it turned out to be one of my absolute top tracks ever recorded. I love it.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Black Light White Light share video for\u00a0King Kong, which is lifted from their new album &#8216;Horizons&#8217; released March 23rd via Forward Backwards Recordings.
