Not since Bon Scott, has a singer’s vocals melded so well with the music to create a truly unique sound. Rehbein’s raspy vocals work brilliantly here.
The song’s unique groove is immediately infectious and will have you singing along on your very first listen. (Ironically, Milky Chance covered Swift on Triple J’s Like A Version). "Huge credit has to go out to Milky Chance and their management for championing this project at every step, and for the hugely talented cast and crew in Riga, Latvia who brought this all to life.German alternative folk group Milky Chance are back after their ground breaking debut L.P ‘Sadnecessary’ in the form of brand new single Cocoon.Ĭocoon hits you straight away with a hook so catchy it’d make Taylor Swift jealous, which admittedly isn’t a very hard thing to do, but I mean this in a good way. All told, a visual antithesis to the music, densely packed with metaphor. I came to think of her character almost as mother nature, exploited until it's too late, while those around her become blinded by short-term self-interest. The girl herself, in that sense, almost becomes a metaphor for something much larger. A forgotten community that stumbles onto a girl who could potentially help them, but in their self-imposed cocoon, they let their own greed get in the way. "So, using classic fairytale tropes, I wanted to create a story that felt like a parable of this idea. It can even be dangerous and destructive. That sometimes returning to the past isn't good. But I wanted to explore the other side of what that means. When we want to return to our cocoon, it’s like we want to return to our past, isolated from the outside world. We usually associate the word 'cocoon' with a sense of comfort and protection in earlier periods of life. "The idea came from the title of the song. The run-down industrial locations of a post-soviet Latvia serve as a perfect backdrop for a dream of shared riches turned to dust. Part fairytale, part extended metaphor, Silis' work is a grim reminder of the selfishness of the human condition. All seems to be going well until those caring for the woman discover her talent for spinning riches from seemingly nowhere. The safety and warmth of a cocoon gets flipped on its head in Davis Silis' new video for Milky Chance.Īn injured woman is carried to safety to recover and kept in a room in a dilapidated factory.
