Amid the languid days of last summer, the European music scene witnessed a notable performance by Berlin’s beloved darkwave duo, NNHMN (pronounced ‘nonhuman’), at Cologne’s Amphi Festival. Their rendition of “Hungrige Liebe” at the 2023 edition of the festival was more than just a mere performance of a song—it was a special moment necessitating visual documentation.
Simone Pellegrini, the London-based director, captured this mesmerizing rendition of the “Hungrige Liebe” in a brilliantly shot live video. Pellegrini, known for his previous collaboration with NNHMN on “Perigee Syzygy,” has outdone himself, presenting a visual feast that captures the moment perfectly. The clip is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling through the live music medium, echoing the very ethos of the song, which will indeed leave you hungry for more.
Watch below:
Lee’s voice, reminiscent of vintage Hollywood sirens, is the pièce de résistance of this visual odyssey. Her sultry tones, evoking whispered confidences shared in dimly lit, opulent lounges, meld harmoniously with the hypnotic synths, drawing the elite and discerning into the heart of NNHMN’s world. Their music, a sophisticated blend of dark disco grooves and gothic allure, has an air of timeless elegance, reminiscent of classic vinyl records played in chic salons.
NNHMN’s summer release, CIRCLE OF DOOM, has already become a staple in clubs and warehouse parties worldwide, even garnering the admiration of luminaries like Boy George.
