In the video for its new single “Gri45to,” Barcelona-based duo DOOUX appear to have filmed from some night club set in the world of Beyond the Black Rainbow or the home planet of Scarlett Johansson’s character from Under the Skin. Disorienting darkness, cool colors and shifting lights with figures disembodied from distinct context as though avatars of pure emotions generating the distorted, shimmery melodies and brooding atmospheres. But there’s something immediate about the two vocals together and the way DOOUX arrange the rhythms in the beat and with the arpeggios. Even though the song is about the inadequacy of language to fully convey or discuss emotions it manages to express how those feelings are recognizable and expressible through the medium of music when combined with voices capable of communicating feelings directly. Which is why even if you don’t speak Spanish, this Spanish language song is still quite effective. Watch the video on YouTube and follow DOOUX at the links provided.
