Darkwave act Kiss of the Whip, a synth project helmed by the talented Tristan Victor, has released the video for the haunting and timely anthemic track “We’re Not Here”, a song about withdrawing from the general populace, which has as of the year, become a universally shared experience.
As Victor explains:
“Those of us who have been alienated from others and society know that isolation can sometimes feel like fading away; a kind of disappearance. Some have been fortunate enough to find a companion — a partner, an animal, or some other meaningful presence — with whom to live this disappearance together. I wrote the title track ‘We’re Not Here’ about the beautiful, painful experience of no longer being alone while always continuing to fade away from the multitude.”
Watch the video below:
