ADRIA NEW VIDEO “PULL ME UNDER”
Adria has released the official music video for “Pull Me Under,” her first single. The noir-inspired visuals of the video complement the song’s theme of water, and how it’s fluidity can mirror human characteristics. As Adria describes the video to The 405, “I’ve always been inspired by water and the contrast of black and white, so naturally, I knew my first video had to include these elements.”
Observing the consistency of Adria’s conceptual approach, The 405 notes, “It’s that fluidity that runs through the entirety of ‘Pull Me Under’ and its visual component, making it incredibly smooth but giving it a jagged edge with its rugged synth line. It’s dark and it’s sensual…She’ll be an artist to keep an eye on for 2015.”

Coming at an eerily appropriate time on the heels of the Mike Brown verdict, “Propagation” is a record birthed as a conversation between Dres and his young son, who’s featured on the record and in the video with him, about what a child of color would need to know about growing up in America. “A hook wasn’t necessary, just a rhyme that continuously told you things that would help you walk through life as a young child of color in America,” says Dres.

IYDES “MAALEN”

ETERNAL DEATH “CRY”
Elin Berlin said of the track, “Cry” is born out of late nights and raised by obscure dance floors, built on an endless pounding that takes over your body and changes the beat of your heart, when all you’ve got is that tireless desire to drown your thoughts in heavy bass and forget. When performing this live, this is a song that makes me feel equally weak and powerful. I think it’s like that with resignation. To allow yourself to feel sad and show weakness is one of the most empowering things to do.”
