“Windows 95, it’s only a metaphor for what I feel inside”

Molly Nilsson, ‘1995’.

 

Check out the new single, ‘1995’ from Berlin based Swedish artist Molly Nilsson, the self effacing dedication to a year, according to Nilsson where “we thought we were standing on the threshold to the end of time…and still do”. The self directed video in collaboration with sees the deadpan Nilsson front and centre looking longingly yet knowingly about the futility of myopically looking to the future. As ever, there’s also more than dose of subtle ascerbic wit aimed at the concept of a music video itself. One wouldn’t expect anything else from an artist who has spent her career making unorthodox takes on pop convention and unleashing subtle, sometimes harsh, always emotive truths about the absurdities of modern life. We’ve also included the ultra perceptive video to previous single, the tropics inspired and Graw Böcklaw directed ‘Lovers Are Losers’. Her brand new record, Zenith, which contains both tracks, hits September 25 through Dark Skies Association and Night School Records. Pre-order it here. Nilsson launches the album in Berlin at the Berghain’s Panorama Bar on September 15 and then heads out with Canadian pop specialists TOPS across North America in late October.
