Miss Kenichi releases new video for The Night
"...a graceful, gloom-pop triumph." - The Skinny
"...absolutely wonderful, absolutely love her."
- Lauren Laverne, BBC 6Music
After the release of her album The Trail last year, Miss Kenichi aka Katrin Hahner has returns with a video for track The Night out now via Sinnbus.
The video premiered on Spex but you can also watch it now on the Sinnbus YouTube channel.
The track, which features on The Trail, builds exquisitely as each instrument is delicately introduced. Over the base of a finger-picked guitar, Katrin’s ethereal vocal's, beautifully complement the patter of the snare. Finally, a wonderful lead line played on the flute by artist Satch Hoyt is introduced, adding an earthy quality, allowing it to connect the other fragile parts together..
Katrin says: “The song is my mantra, a ritual to call on the magic and power of poetry and song. Do not stop singing and call on the light, even if things get dark. Fight them off with your voice. Your light, your trust and faith in the magic of life, this universe and space is the most powerful tool”.
The video was filmed by acclaimed photographer Antje Taiga Jandrig. It features American actor Alexander Thomas and tindersticks drummer Earl Harvin who co-produced The Trail with Katrin. Despite having very strong visual metaphors Katrin is keen that the imagery of the video is not ascribed meaning, instead allowing the viewer to take their own interpretation and make their own connection to the art.
The Night is taken from the album The Trail out now via Sinnbus/Rough Trade and is available to buy digitally on iTunes and on vinyl and CD from BandCamp.
