Wu-Lu 'Blame' by Denisha Anderson
Promonews - 17th May 2022
Denisha Anderson's latest collaboration with Miles Romans-Hopcraft - aka Wu-Lu -features the multi-instrumentalist/producer and his bandmates exorcising their demons in the wide-open spaces of a sun-scorched landscape.
Primal emotions are explored in this desert-like environment - actually a quarry in Suffolk - for the video for Blame, from the back of a drifting car and elsewhere. Ultimately, a white-pupilled version of Romans-Hopecraft is buried, neck deep in the rock, by the rest of the band.
“It is about a breakdown in communication between my inner voice and my external voice and a situation that arose which led me to end a relationship”, explains Wu-Lu about the song, which is featured on the forthcoming debut album LOGGERHEAD, which is released in July.
“For this video, I was inspired by the films Dogtooth and Paris, Texas," says Denisha Anderson about the video - her fourth for Wu-Lu. "I ran with buzzwords such as road-trip, disconnection, fear and goodbyes to the old self. These themes were used as a starting point for my vision after a long chat with Wu-Lu about where he was emotionally from writing the track.
"As the song is high energy throughout, I wanted to juxtapose this with stillness, slow movement and negative space. Through this, I aimed to build to the pace of the visual so the viewers are ultimately carried on a journey when watching.”
