Maïa Vidal releases video for 'Bones'

Crammed Discs are happy to share this halloweenesque video of “Bones” by Maïa Vidal. It heralds the arrival of "You’re the Waves", her third album in as many years. Due to come out in March 2015, it was co-produced by the much-buzzed Brooklyn-based Van Rivers (of Fever Ray, Glasser, Matthew Dear and Blonde Redhead fame). The video was written and directed by Maïa herself (who has either co-directed or written all her previous music videos, including "Follow Me", which was nominated for Best Pop Video at the UK Music Video Awards, opposite Lana del Rey, Rihanna and Justice). Single Bones is available digitally on October 28th. Check The video for Bones here, it has a Halloween related theme:

Maïa Vidal's new single & video: "Bones", a voracious love song...

In this first track off her new album, the young American singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist deconstructs falling in love by stripping it of its romance and literature, exploring the visceral curiosity and desire that one feels upon falling for someone. To the point of craving to expose the inside of the human body to air! Skin so soft I could tear it off / to reveal your platelets...

Going back to the lyrics, Maïa sees the song as "a demented sonnet about an impossibly true encounter of two multi-celled organisms kissing in the moonlight". She describes the process as "a voracious appetite to discover everything about the other person, to see deep within, to interact not only on the surface but quite possibly below the muscle tissue as well. That curiosity is insatiable, it calls for something impossible but at the same time deeply human, a desire to know everything about the person we love - I'd like to make a home in your frontal lobe / and lounge all day in your memories - and to be invited into every corner of their body."
