George Tripsas’ visual treatment of the music video for raudiver’s single “Mary Tombs” is part Dario Argento circa Profondo Rosso and a Jane Schoenbrun film. Which suits the music that pairs beautiful Omnichord drones with Lauren Eddy’s soulful vocals. Chilling synths twinkle in the backdrop of the song adding accents to the shifting drone and minimal electronic drums count the hypnotic rhythm but with nuance of pacing and composition so that it isn’t just one drum pattern or sound and programmed so that there is some subtle but well executed diversity in how the song is accented. Fans of Madeline Goldstein will appreciate the single as well as the band’s latest album Leave Before Dark which released September 11, 2024 on streaming, digital download, CD and LP.
