Tremble – Thorns:
We last saw the trip-hop pop band Tremble doing stripped down covers and playing with a 90βs inspired electro sound perfectly illuminated by singer/songwriter Kelly Sweetβs chillingly soft voice. Now the band is back with a captivating new single, βThorns,β and a video thatβs exactly as dark, hypnotic, and stimulating as youβd expect.
The opening lyrics sung a cappella immediately suck you in to this darkly romantic tripped out mix, βPain is like a rose, gotta watch yourself on those thorns.β Shot with a grainy film texture in the vast deserts of California, Kelly and the band jam out out on the terrain with a chorus thatβs just gospel enough to lift your spirits.
The video includes some throwback camera techniques like stop animation and time lapses using white roses. The camera shifts focus between thick layers of thorns, superimposed over Kellyβs dreamy and rhythmic movements. The use of the white rose, a thematic symbol that often represents spirituality and innocence, seen at the start and end of the video is symbol and unique, giving the video a bit of cinematic depth for the viewers to explore. Like a rose herself, Kellyβs performance is beautiful and inviting with a sharp twist.
A review from BreatheHeavy.com said βTrembleβs sound is like quickly taking a shot of neon blue hypnotic hard liquor. In slow motion.β Earlier this year, Tremble was also selected as a Top 21 Artist of the Month by IndiMusic TV. With three albums on the market and hit cover songs grabbing attention from across the globe, Tremble is quickly becoming a pop phenomenon to watch out for.
