‘Skylarks’ is the new single and accompanying music video from German dark folk trio Ephemeral.
The track is featured on the band’stwo-song split EP, Of Pine and Oak, a collaboration with Northern Irish atmospheric project Domhain, that you can read more about at RAMzine here.
‘Skylarks’ offers listeners a deep dive into Ephemeral‘s blend of melancholic folk and progressive elements, weaving together acoustic instrumentation and evocative vocals. The band shared their thoughts on the inspiration behind the song and video:
“’Skylarks’ is about being inspired, both by the nature that surrounds us and that we’re a part of, and by past cultures. It’s about the various forms of inspiration we can tap into by returning to our roots, and about any form of artistic creation – music, poetry, visual art, dance – enabling us to fly, or to flee from the busy hive of our day-to-day thoughts and lives,” said the band, adding, “For the video, contemporary dancer Rosa Faerber interpreted the song and its lyrical themes, adding a stunning visual dimension to the song.”
