Denai Moore announces third album with lead cut "Cascades"
Denai Moore has announced her third album Modern Dread, which arrives with the lead single "Cascades".
"Cascades" is Moore's first new offering since October's "To The Brink", which will also feature on Modern Dread.
The new single arrives with a trippy visual directed by Samuel Douek. Moore says of the video, "I really wanted the Cascades video to translate like a surreal weird dream. The song is about feeling visceral sadness and being too caught up in your own headspace. Sam and I collaborated on the the concept of me literally melting myself as a kind of metaphorical self-destruction. Sam cast my face the night before the shoot and it really put me into the headspace of the world we were creating."
Of the track itself, Moore adds, "Sonically this song was tricky to work on. Alex and I did a lot of crazy modular twisted noises, but ended up stripping it back and have tinkles of noise in the song. In the ending of the song, we actually slow it down a couple of bpm and the outro is acappella."
Modern Dread will be Moore's third album, and first since 2017's We Used To Bloom.
For the vinyl release, Moore will be pressing the LP onto eco coloured vinyl - an idea pioneered vinyl manufacturer Modo. It combines leftover colours of other vinyl pressings, which helps to reduce waste, and can provide an impressive, unique, and colourful outcome.
