“The forest calls me back into her womb” as a title alone suggests so much of the draw of nature and reconnecting with primal, natural forces within oneself, ancient spiritual beliefs, Jungian archetypes and pagan mysticism. But Samantha’s song with the video looking like something out of a future Robert Eggers film along with the black and white imagery as a great representation of the hypnotic drones and ethereal vocals presents an experience that taps into what sounds like memories of human existence prior to civilization as we’ve known it for ten thousand years. The figure in a mask of earth and leaves rolling about in ritualistic fashion like a dance from a society that preserves its culture and religious beliefs in performance, art and oral history. Samantha herself in the video wanders slowly through a fog enshrouded forest barren of leaves as though making that symbolic journey to connecting her conscious mind with ancestral knowledge though communing with nature. Watch the video for “The forest calls me back into her womb” on YouTube and follow the Belgian ambient artist on Spotify.
