Tara Nome Doyle is branching out.
A Norwegian-Irish artist based in Berlin, she’s able to re-contextualise her beatific songwriting within an electronic framework.
You might recognise her voice from the Netflix film Munich – The Edge of War, which features a song Tara co-wrote alongside Isobel Waller Bridge.
New album ‘Værmin’ is out now, and her song ‘Spider’ is a key moment on this impressive project.
We’re able to share the video, which replicates the intimacy of Tara Nome Doyle’s songwriting, while adding something extra.
Sonja Stadelmaier came on board to complete the shoot, which touches upon “the desperation and instability that follow rejection.”
Tara comments: “The image of a long-legged spider weaving its web in an attempt to recapture the object of its desire – a fly- seemed very fitting to me and this honest, unpolished dynamic makes ‘Spider’ one of the most personal songs on my new record ‘Værmin’.”
She adds: “The music video for ‘Spider’ was created by Sonja Stadelmaier, whose creative vision and photography have been very influential in my visual identity since my first release in 2018. ‘Spider’ is a very tense and unsettling ballad and we wanted to translate these emotions into a performance-driven music video. There is an insect-like quality to my movements and positions, as well as to the harsh cuts between the scenes that Sonja implemented.”
A beautiful yet haunting watch, you can check out the video below.
