Marie Ulven, who releases music as girl in red, shared her highly anticipated debut album if i could made it all go quiet last month; it’s a groundbreaking debut that she discussed in our recent cover story. Today, she furthers the intensity at the center of her album with the new video for single “body and mind.” The track is one of the album’s highlights that demonstrates Ulven’s curiosity and struggle with the unknown of the human mind and our harrowing mortality. “I’ve been in the deep end since I realized / There is a difference between body and mind,” the song opens. “I’ve been at my lowest for the longest time / Knowing my existence is not one of a kind.”
The track’s video directed by Thea Hvistendahl is a creepy companion for the candid pop song, giving off strong Wicker Man vibes. Ulven commented about working with Hvistendahl, saying, “she’s absolutely crazy and really funny. Making this video and giving ‘Body And Mind’ a new dimension with these visuals is really dope. It feels like it’s been awhile since I’ve seen some witch shit so it was about time!”
