Amiture Music and Eliana Glass Evoke an Intense Sense of Pending Existential Crisis on Avant Post-Punk Single “Idela”

Amiture Music teams up with experimental pop/jazz artist Eliana Glass for the song “Idela” and its accompanying music video. We see Hanna Gabbler on a patio in New York looking across the bay to downtown and making shapes with her hands toward the clouds and sun. The music begins minimal and builds to an urgent melody paired with a discordant part that suggests tension and an internal conflict. The view goes from Gabbler standing and walking around to a negative image of a hallway while the visuals seem to focus on angles, close-ups and long shots. Directed by both Jack Whitescarver of Amiture Music and Eliana Glass it is reminiscent of the kind of underlying menace present in the film version of High Rise where normalcy is surface level. But it never quite goes as dark except that the lyrics suggest skullduggery and the decay and fall of Western civilization. But that’s just on point for the time and place we’re living. If there’s a film version of Jim Di Bartolo’s 2026 graphic novel F*ck Billionaires this should probably be on the soundtrack.

Eliana Glass’s Downtempo Jazz Single “Shrine” is an Impressionistic Evocation of the Deep Places of Memory

Eliana Glass’s slightly breathy, soulful, dusky vocals on “Shrine” sound like something from another era. Like a deep jazz lounge in the 60s or 70s like Peggy Lee or Lena Horne in a particularly melancholic mood and reaching into realms of the musical avant-garde. The soft bass accents and minimal piano accompaniment lend the song an irresistible cool to complement Glass’s own as she sings about how in life we encounter people whose memory lingers with us for a variety of reasons and the ways the resonance of those experiences however extended or brief become part of the narrative of our life story like the influences that go into the writing of a work of fiction. Glass seems to choose to be enriched by these memories rather than haunted by them though “Shrine” has a deep and immersive moodiness that feels both mysterious and comforting. In the music video filmed, directed and edited by Jules Muir from a concept by Costa Colachis Glass we see the singer in granular images that look like memories feel—often hazy yet vibrant, in moments shadowy and with the analog quality of the lived experience faded and colored by one’s distance from the actual events and emotional associations.
