Dublin-based artist Molly Noise has unveiled her single "A Matter of Discipline" from her upcoming album. Released on May 2, the track features a pulsating synth and whispered lyrics that explore the complex relationship between body and mind, questioning whether discipline stems from personal will or external pressure. The accompanying music video, crafted by Sarah Zedig, enhances the song’s provocative themes through its dark, minimalistic visuals. Noise’s work reflects on the dangers of obsessive behavior surrounding health and fitness, while also highlighting her identity as a trans woman. This album follows her 2021 release, Profane Feminine, and continues her exploration of challenging societal norms.
How do you think the obsession with the "quantified self" affects our understanding of body image and self-discipline in today’s society?
