Oxbow Lovely Murk (ft. Lingua Ignota)
Taken from the new album, Love s Holiday, in stores now:. Directed by Zev Deans About the video and track, Niko Wenner says; I started Lovely Murk in late 2011 imagining the perspective of my mother then dying from Alzheimers, and what it would feel like to lose everything, even ones self. So personal, I kept the song for myself; she died in early 2012. But soon Lisa Meyer at Supersonic Festival in Birmingham England asked us to play, encouraging me to orchestrate a version for an Oxbow Orchestra performance. And eventually I was ready to record the song for our new Oxbow album Loves Holiday, with new lyrics. I asked Kristin Hayter to create a Lingua Ignota choir using my melody from 2011, she also added voice over the bridge, altogether creating a stunning and essential addition. A long journey for what for me is a beautiful, powerful song, made with Eugene S. Robinson continues, My favourite part of filming the entire video
