ETERNAL MOURNING
Eternal Mourning Unveil Immersive Multimedia Single “Toxic Lovers”
Montreal indie folk band Eternal Mourning return with new, rageful track “Toxic Lovers,” a stunning piece of multimedia that explores deep into two humans’ violent, destructing love. Following the critical praise of their debut album A Draft, which came out last fall, the collective now, for a second time, explore ideas of light and dark, but these are now combined in a powerful, passionate love that burns too intensely.
Out of a plaintive but uplifting haunting musical piece is the heart of “Toxic Lovers,” a magnificent combination of sheer emotion, thoughtful musicianship, and powerful storytelling that defines the output of Eternal Mourning. Ingredients of folk, rock, baroque pop, and grunge are combined to form a richly textured, sorrowful but uplifting piece of music that touches the heart.
The “Toxic Lovers” video was excellently produced and directed by Joël Proulx Bouffard, a.k.a. VJ Droso. These are images that form the basis of transmitting the passion of the relation being represented, further intensifying the emotional instigation, bringing life to the storyline through vibrant color. Both of these, combined, form a very immersive environment that pushes the viewer to study the beauty of a love that becomes toxic and the pain.
Eternal Mourning, with a second album What I Saw Is History, can triumph anew with a heart-twitching piece of art that beckons reflection. To fully enjoy “Toxic Lovers,” we recommend accepting both of its gorgeous haunting melodies, along with gorgeous pictures.
