New German Cinema, the solo project of Fear of Men’s Jessica Weiss, shares ‘Eyes’, the final single from her debut album Pain Will Polish Me, out this Friday via Felte.
A modern Lost in Translation, ‘Eyes’ is another sweeping, cinematic gem from New German Cinema, accompanied by a video filmed while on tour in Japan last year.
“It is such a visually rich and very precise culture, that can feel enticing but also slightly unknowable to outsiders. That tension felt very apt for the energy of the song. We filmed fragments as we moved through cities and train stations, neon streets and quiet corners, trying to capture that feeling of being both immersed in a place and slightly outside it, with the recurring motif of landline phones suggesting emotional relationships beyond the frame. The video became a kind of travel diary, but also a visual echo of the song’s inner landscape.”
