Copenhagen-based electronic composer and vocalist Soho Rezanejad has recently announced the release of her sophomore album, Honesty Without Compassion is Brutality, which will be released on her own label Silicone Records. The project will follow up to her audiovisual and digital EP, Torino, unveiled a bit earlier this year.

Coming with this announcement, the experimental artist has unveiled the video of a brand new song, “Love’s a Raging Prey”, which was directed in collaboration with Anders Nydam. Without any rhythmic section, the ambient-esque, 7 minute-long track sounds like a mystical and spiritual experience in itself. In her own words:

[su_quote]The mystic’s experience of falling in love with God is comparable to the love of the moth for the flame. The moth upholds the flame and beats itself on the glass of the lantern. Bruised and weary, it returns to its companions and describes the beauty of the thing it has experienced. Finally, consumed with an insatiable love for god, the moth breaks the glass to become the flame.[/su_quote]

Since the release of her amazing debut EP “Idolatry”, we haven’t heard much from Danish cold-wave artist, besides her works in Lust For Youth and some of her “impulsive records“. The artist is going from a relative dark synth pop 80s-inspired first EP to a cold wave sound, reminding the likes of Siouxie And The Banshees. Focusing only on the drama of the track, there is no much space for the rest, as everything remains rather minimalistic: you can follow her walking a concrete architecture, singing along her song. As the entire imagery will described the “Six Archetypes” she sets for her album, we are expecting 5 more videos to come in the next weeks. About the first video, Soho Rezanejad stated:

[su_quote]The first passage in the video relates to the record’s overarching narrative and title, Six Archetypes. Apple seeds rest in my hand while I sleep, searching for my mother in a dream — a reference to the orphan complex that Carl Jung writes about. He thought that children orphan themselves by abandoning their heritage for the pursuit of a particular quest, one which in no way fits their parents’ or caretakers’ expectations. In a different sense, one can become orphaned from society. An idea or ideology can become so common that the mass establishes a system of expectations: one person’s idea becomes the people’s image. So what choice do we have other than to be orphans? I am drawn to this archetype because it possesses qualities shared by all visionaries of the world. Inasmuch as the orphan relates to being alone, it’s also about the obsession for breaking and challenging systems.[/su_quote]
