Warhaus releases new video for 'Machinery'

Belgian artist Warhaus is pleased to reveal the video for his latest single ‘Machinery’. Premiered exclusively on Dazed Digital, the video was directed by fashion photographer Willy Vanderperre, known for his campaign work with Prada, Christian Dior, Raf Simons and Jil Sander among other celebrated designers. Speaking about the video, Vanderperre says, “We went for a location that we all have been to in our lives, a party we all were at one point as well. It could be a wedding or an office party. The night is over, smoke in the back of the room. This guy goes on stage to sing a song. He has had all night to find the courage to do so. Maybe tries to impress a girl. He sings and tries to be smooth, which makes him vulnerably sexy. There is a certain discomfort in his moves.”

Warhaus is the artistic alter ego and solo recording project of Maarten Devoldere – who. along with Jinte Deprez, fronts the urbanely soulful rock band Balthazar.

‘Machinery’, Devoldere explains, “Is about not being in control, about being consumed by love and excess, as if to ask to let me off the hook for a night. Lots of songs on the album are about trying to seem on top while being at the mercy of a woman. We wanted to imply that duality in the performance of the video.”

Warhaus’ debut album We Fucked a Flame Into Being is available now from Play It Again Sam. After a celebrated slot at Eurosonic festival, Warhaus will play a string of live dates in Europe this year. Live favourite ‘Beaches’ has been used in the trailer for the highly anticipated new TV series ‘SNATCH’ – watch the trailer HERE.
