Calva Louise Reveal Their ‘Other Self’ On New Single & Video

UK trio Calva Louise have shared Other Self, the second single from their upcoming concept album, Euphoric, that is set for release on August 20th via FRKST / 300 Entertainment. The track fuses elements of futuristic punk and indie rock with frontwoman Jess Allanic‘s lush vocal style shining as she belts out “Are you the reason that I’m trying?”. The video dives into the story told across the album, in this particular scene encountering your “other self” and the perception past what is reality.

“The lyrics of this new single ‘Other Self’ speak about the intrinsic meaning of individuality and relationships with people in the everyday world and simultaneously about the uncertainty of a possible complementary duality, manifested through our dreams (or maybe through someone else’s dream). It is not a conversation with oneself, but a conversation with a supposed other self, a premise that the mind can’t accept. On the road of life there are unknown situations that many of us will never be able to understand, especially those related to that feeling that there is something or someone beyond our understanding. And perhaps there is not only a counterpart that guides us through intuition, but also a parallel world full of ideas and thoughts from a different origin than ours, a world where time and space are led by different rules.”

On their upcoming album, Euphoric, Calva Louise is telling a story about the duality of the human being and about the different perceptions of reality. The lyrics detail episodes of the dreamer’s experiences as an inner conversation with his other self, the counterpart of the human being, that seeks to experience freedom and have an encounter with the unknown. To further dive into the story found on the album, the band will release an animated movie and a comic book, all created, produced and directed by frontwoman Jess Allanic.
