Nordic dark ambient folk act NOÊTA have released their new video single, “Above and Below,” which you can check out below. The track serves as the second single to be released from the outfit’s forthcoming album, ‘Elm,’ which is officially due out on April 23, 2021 via Prophecy Productions (pre-save).
Frontwoman Êlea comments, “I wrote ‘Above and Below’ about a strong desire to distance ourselves from society and mankind. This separation adds fuel to the flame and makes one want to retreat even further – to escape this world, to escape all that feels so alienating. It is a wish to become one with earth, to be free from humanity, and free from all the things that society and people construct for each other. This track is about the tempting desire to be nothing and no one – to be like a drop of rain falling into water, where it dissipates and forever disappears.”
