Exclusive video premiere of ‘Danse Danse’ by Mekong, taken from the recent album released via Icy Cold Records.

Mekong is set to unveil the haunting video for their latest single, ‘Danse Danse,’ on September 20th, 2024. Directed by Pedro Viernes, the video offers a dark and captivating visual counterpart to the song’s brooding atmosphere. Starring Liudmyla Radyk, the video mirrors the emotional depth and hypnotic rhythms that characterize Mekong’s sound.

The track is lifted from the ‘Danse Danse’ album, released in May 2024 via Icy Cold Records, which delves into themes of alienation and inner turmoil. The album fuses post-punk and dark-wave elements with strong bass lines, ethereal guitars, and melancholic synths. With its immersive storytelling and striking aesthetics, the video invites viewers deeper into Mekong’s shadowy soundscape. Fans of dark post-punk and gothic wave will find ‘Danse Danse’ a fitting continuation of Mekong’s signature style.

‘Danse Danse’ is a conceptual album designed to be experienced as a cohesive whole. It narrates the journey of a troubled young woman battling her inner demons and feeling isolated from the world. As the night progresses, her descent into chaos and recklessness unfolds, a silent cry for help that tragically goes unnoticed.
