New German Cinema unveils new single, "Eyes"
New German Cinema has released "Eyes", the final single from her upcoming debut solo album, Pain Will Polish Me.
"Eyes" follows previous singles "My Mistake", featuring Merchandise's Carson Cox, and "Swirling Pain". The track is accompanied by a video shot last year during a Japanese tour run.
Discussing the video, Jessica Weiss — the mind behind New German Cinema — says: "It is such a visually rich and very precise culture, that can feel enticing but also slightly unknowable to outsiders. That tension felt very apt for the energy of the song. We filmed fragments as we moved through cities and train stations, neon streets and quiet corners, trying to capture that feeling of being both immersed in a place and slightly outside it, with the recurring motif of landline phones suggesting emotional relationships beyond the frame. The video became a kind of travel diary, but also a visual echo of the song’s inner landscape.”
Pain Will Polish Me is released on 27 March via Felte
