Following the release of the extended version of their 2023 Projekt album Sentimental Craving For Beauty, the duo of Vif Nüte and Bes Eirid returns with a new video, the live version of their song "My Blues” performed this summer at May Dec Studio in Vanadzor, Armenia. This version (which is featured in the 26-track Deluxe Edition of the album), showcases the band in primal minimalist form. The already ascetic arrangement undergoes several more layers of purification allowing Bes and Vif to perform the song with the minimum involvement of pre-programming. (Despite their inclination to electronic music, in their live performances VEiiLA relies on a limited number of instruments which, apart from the sequenced drum-machine, are all hand-played). This spartan approach results in an even more intimate and spacey sound.

The visuals represent VEiiLA’s fondness for noir-ish atmosphere, which in this case is attained by the grainy dark ambiance and cold cubist interior of the room, as well as nervous camera movements that jump between close-ups and long shots, bringing to mind the work of Anton Corbijn.

Bandcamp fan David TRIMBOUR writes:
"Electro, cold-wave et Trip hop, une mixture musicale fascinante mêlée à une belle voix féminine. Chef d’œuvre!"
