LA-based DJ and producer Alexandre Mouracade returned recently with his project Sonns, having just released his latest 12″, Teacher, via Kompakt in late November. Today we watch his new video for the EP’s title track, an elegant cut of noir-leaning synth-pop. Directed by Daniel Pinci, and featuring the track’s vocalist Tobias Buch, the video montages images of a fiery sunrise, various flora and fauna, as well as a night time drive thru the city. But, the central focus of the video is the eerie footage of Buch, often seen thru a veil of blur or with his ghost-like face in blackened resolve. Mouracade recently discussed the track with Vice/Thump, and he had this to say about Buch’s lyrics:
“The morning signifies a new beginning, a subtle dream state you might still be in after a deep sleep or long night — those can be some of the clearest and most inspiring moments in someone’s life. Tobias was holding his new-born daughter River on the beaches of Big Sur gazing at the horizon. The lyrics came to fruition in that moment.”
