Mora Mothaus’ vocals are part of a seamless soundscape on the “Eye.Seek” single reminiscent of The Knife when they would go off standard song structure. This song flows with a seemingly organic structure with understated beats providing texture and fading into the background as the song prepares to soar. In the music video we see the artist dancing in a chamber illuminated by blue light for part of the video and looking on with an expression of deep introspection as though caught up in the thoughts of living out a dream until she leaves an office building into the Tokyo night seemingly in an attempt to run from the “demon” of her inner aspirations only to find it would have been better to embrace the creative impulse within herself all along as terrifying as it can be especially when it requires you to break with internalized societal expectations. Anyone that has found some resonance with the likes of Molly Nilsson, Jenny Hval and Pierce With Arrow will appreciate Mothaus’ evocation of emotional transcendence. Perfectly blending layered atmospheres, minimal, accenting beats, tonal shimmers, fiery yet spectral guitar and great arcs of melody Mothaus keeps us captivated throughout.
