Felicia Atkinson and Christina Vantzou Share Final Single "Scorpio Purple Skies"
Share
“Scorpio Purple Skies” is the last offering from Felicia Atkinson and Christina Vantzou’s Water Poems before the album emerges in its oceanic entirety this Friday, April 10.
“Saturn, Neptune, dry Earth...an eternal space…near the water” — open fragments of language softly populate the tender ambience of this closing track. Anchored by the hypnotizing guitar work of John Also Bennett, the piece begins with a ceremonial air—part monastic liturgy, part spaghetti western—before expanding into stretches of soft drones, tolling bells, and hushed voices. “For a while,” Vantzou softly proclaims, “we dream together.”
“Scorpio Purple Skies” arrives with an atmospheric video directed and edited by Vantzou. Filmed in the mystic, megalithic woods of Belgium, under the influence of the stone structures, dancers Stav Yeini and Siet Phorae move with the surrounding elements, bending time and space in the process. Listen, and look, now.
