Priestess is an artist created in London by Kate Fleur Young, teaming up with producers James Mottershead and Oli Kilpatrick to create a fantastic electronic, downtempo, yet experimental mix, inspired by artists including FKA Twigs, Fever Ray, Portishead, and Little Dragon.
‘Landscapes’ is the latest single release from Priestess, and it’s an award winner too, winning an award for it’s eco-friendly vinyl, judged by no less than Matt Black from Ninja Tune / Coldcut. Musically it’s got a great vibe, being chilled out enough to relax too, but with an energy that demands your attention, a melodic, haunting vocal and a great production…
Here’s Kate’s thoughts on Landscapes…
“Landscapes is all about connection. If we are disconnected from the impact of climate change and the destruction of our planet, then we are also disconnected from each other. This is a love song that imagines a future that is so wide and cinematic and technicoloured that you can get totally lost within it. Wandering, stumbling through a widescreen landscape of conflicting emotions, raw and natural, bright and dark, always on the edge of trauma or pain. This juxtaposition is also reflected in the way that we love, but also destroy our planet. There is hope of ultimately finding your way home within that love, to a place of greater connection and hope..“
And here’s the music video for Landscapes, created by the Priestess using Volta, an immerse 3D video application which allows you to perform inside the visual…
