Montaigne In The Dark

Montaigne In The Dark

Sydney avant-pop heroine Montaigne (A.K.A Jessica Cerro), has today delivered the striking video for her brand new single -In The Dark', from her forthcoming debut album set for release later in the year.

The video was directed by Guy Franklin who Montaigne has worked with on her previous videos: -I'm A Fantastic Wreck' and -Clip My Wings. Montaigne reveals when asked about her ardent and intensely personal performance, 'the song was conceived in the throes of a dying relationship, with the knife twisted deeper by other traumas, and I wanted to visually convey both the devastation and empowerment I felt from corrupting my relationship in the way I did. It was one of those situations that was so ironic and heart-rending that it was hilarious. Guy Franklin and the team did a great job. Special praise for Chloe Greaves (styling and art direction) & Nat Burley (HMUA)."

Working with producer Tony Buchen again (The Preatures, Andy Bull), -In The Dark' exceeds all that you've come to expect from Montaigne. Quirky, percussion-heavy, and interlaced with bursts of brass, her unique and ever powerful voice somehow even more commanding. -In The Dark' is more sonically adventurous than even her previous single, the grandiose -Clip My Wings', which amongst other accolades reached the coveted #1 most played slot on Triple J. While Montaigne's music will always revolve around the fundamentals of her vocals, lyrics and melodies, -In The Dark' is a bold statement from a young artist not afraid to be creatively ambitious.   

Montaigne will be taking her band back out on the road for the In The Dark national tour.
