Stateless - Ariel

submitted by paul4dirt

Official music video for Stateless' new single "Ariel". A digital dance exploring the eternal struggle of good and evil. Animated in Houdini. "FIELD animated the two opponent characters of the song as surreal human figures, drawing dynamic sculptures into space. We collaborated with professional dancer Dominic North to record an impromptu interpretation of the song in a motion capture studio." http://www.field.io/project/stateless-ariel

Press release for the single:

"Stateless return with the first single from their forthcoming album “Matilda" (their first for Ninja Tune). “Matilda.” Working with producer Damian Taylor (Bjork, The Prodigy), Stateless have taken a more electronic line for the new album and it shows on opener “Ariel.”

While the quality of songwriting remains intact and Chris James’ voice has never sounded better, “Ariel” finds him laying out the melody over West African guitar lines, crunching snare snaps and thunderous kicks, dubstep sub-bass splatters and glitchtronic interference. It’s an utterly compelling combination, classic songwriting rendered completely new.

The feel of a new direction is reinforced by a series of fantastic remixes. Rustie gives the original an even more glistening electronic feel and a certain magnificence. Up-and-coming dubsteppers Dark Sky speed things up for a garage-influenced dancefloor number that keeps building and changing right to the end. Meanwhile, the Midland Inflight remix, locks into a Voodoo Ray-ish dub-house groove that emphasises the melancholy of the original.

With “Matilda” due for release in February, “Ariel” shows a group willing to push at the boundaries and reap the rewards of their bravery. Fasten your seatbelts… "
