‘Black Horse’ by Francesca Bono
Exclusive video premiere of ‘Black Horse’ by Francesca Bono.
Following the haunting debut single ‘Velvet Flickering Heart,’ WWNBB Collective is set to release ‘Black Horse’ on September 13th, the second preview from Francesca Bono’s highly anticipated solo debut. Bono, best known as the founder of the band Ofeliadorme and for her work in the experimental duo Bono/Burattini, brings her unique sound to the forefront with this project. Her contributions to the independent scene are widely recognized, with collaborations that continue to push the boundaries of experimental music.
For ‘Black Horse,’ Bono receives backing from the legendary Mick Harvey (The Birthday Party, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), who was so captivated by the demo that he offered his talents as co-producer and musician. The track is a mesmerizing journey that marries minimal, folk-driven melodies with bursts of sonic experimentation. What starts as a seemingly simple tune transforms into an electric storm of kraut-inspired rhythms, with sharp guitar, relentless drums, and synths adding to its pathos and emotional weight.
Visually, the single is complemented by a stunning music video directed by multidisciplinary artist Susana Ljuljanovic. The video amplifies the song’s dreamlike atmosphere, showing Bono as an ethereal figure in a vivid landscape, adorned with flowers and echoing the timeless connection between nature and the unconscious. This interplay of sound and imagery creates a powerful, liberating ritual in music—a journey into both the subconscious and the unknown.
With ‘Black Horse,’ Francesca Bono solidifies her presence as one of the most intriguing voices in the independent music scene, offering a deep dive into themes of superstition, liberation, and transformation. This single marks another bold step forward in her continually evolving musical career.
