Pale Grey is back with the new single EVE!

Back after their album ‘Waves’, Pale Grey writes the continuation of their story in three incantatory letters. In the music video that accompanies the single ‘EVE’, the Belgian quartet embarks on a bus journey. On the way to their next stop, the musicians meet the gaze of a young woman. A key figure in a developing storyline, this character accompanies the return of an key band. Emerging from the Belgian heights, between eternal forests and longing for elsewhere, Pale Grey cultivates their melancholy through songs woven with delicate charm. At the crossroads of electronica, dream pop and abstractions taken from the hip-hop scene, the band sketches out a singular universe.

Recorded in Belgium with producer Ash Workman (Metronomy, Christine and the Queens, Baxter Dury), ‘EVE’ transports us into an everyday scene. Aboard a bus, among passengers, the mind wanders, trying to project itself, to imagine the lives of strangers. In a fraction of a second, the imagination flourishes, moving freely between fiction and reality, intuitions and foolish certainties. As in an Iñárritu film, poetic evocation prevails over realistic representation.

'EVE' is a testimony, raising awareness around ordinary violence against women. Through her presence in this clip, Maïté, the extra, bears witness to her own story.

With this title, we wanted to work on a complex subject. Eve is a piece of history, the story of an isolated, shut-in woman in search of a way out. It is also, indirectly, a portrait of Adam, the cause of her pain. This short story is told over the course of a track that we wanted to be both dark and uplifting. A deep, oppressive voice urgently saturates the verses, followed by a more ethereal space to breathe in a melodic opening. The chorus is built around samples of several voices that come together to create a melodic base, while the phrase 'I told you', formulated by Eve and gradually conjugates to become 'Everyone told you'. It's a way for us to express how a personal, isolated problem can and must concern us all
