EMKE RELEASES TWO (EP) and 'MAMBO' MUSIC VIDEO

Emese Arvai-Illes, aka Emke is mostly known for her alto vocals in Black Nail Cabaret, a synth noir duo from Hungary, for those who are familiar with the dark electronic music scene. She also contributed to several projects: in 2013 she worked together with German mastermind Daniel Myer on 6 songs for Architect’s album Mine, and this year she collaborated with the Hungarian cyber-industrial act Planetdamage on his song Angst.

Emke's first solo EP, Breakaway was a self-released in 2012, on which she worked together with Krisztian Arvai, her partner in life and BNC. This time however she worked on the songs only by herself, and the new solo material has been released by UK label Two Gods on Bandcamp on 13th of December 2017. The EP Two will be available on all online platforms, such as Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, Amazon etc from end of January, along with the new music video for the song Mambo, which has been released on 26th of January.



About the video: I obviously have my own interpretation of the relationship between the visuals and the lyrics, but this time I would rather not share it and leave it for everybody to form their own opinion. I would just say that behind the behind the whole beast/witch symbolism there is a massive sad reality. This is a very personal one, mainly because it’s absolutely DIY again, like in the old days, when we were handling everything ourselves. I like its rawness and imperfections. We were shooting for several days at several different locations in the Hungarian Gerecse Mountains, above our hometown.
