Mute Records has unveiled the music video for "Open Fields," the second single from German electronic duo Felsmann + Tiley, directed by Lisa Mausbach. This track follows their previous single "Warum" ("Why?"), focusing on the theme that while it doesn’t provide existential answers, it emphasizes the importance of nurturing hope for survival. Featuring vocals from The Kite String Tangle’s Danny Harley, the collaboration pushes artistic boundaries, capturing an in-person magic that enhances the minimalist sound of Felsmann + Tiley. Their forthcoming album, Protomensch, explores the juxtaposition of human sentience and machine aesthetics, set for release on February 13.
What do you think the balance between human emotion and machine coldness says about our current societal landscape?
