“We wrote White Lines at the end of the first lockdown, when we really started to miss the nightlife,” explains the circumstances of the song’s singer and songwriter Dušan Marko. “Sometimes you just need to switch off, forget about good manners and take to the streets. And that’s exactly what the song sounds like, exactly how we felt. Darkly. In the end, it also thematically connected with Halloween, which can be seen in the video clip. In addition, the chorus corresponds to this dramatic time. “

The author of the music, Radek Tomášek, also describes his motivation for the creation of the composition: “I have always been fascinated by the spiritual theme of music. I remember playing a Thriller vinyl into headphones as a kid all the time. I discovered the band Ghost two years ago and completely cut me up. Paradoxically, the dark theatrical mood flooded me with positives. I go for a run in the Roztoky forest, where there is a door in the middle in one place. Once I ran up to them, opened them and went through … And so this song was created. “

In accordance with the text, the visual form of the composition is in line with its message. All pictures were drawn and animated by the creator of the clip, Matyáš Vorda. He chose the animation technique exactly as it was done at the beginning of the animated film, from which he took inspiration. The video refers to the time of silent black and white films, when the first stories with Mickey Mouse or Merrie Melodies were made.

“I interpreted the lyrics of the song as a temptation of the will, a seduction into something dangerous, something forbidden. Something that, despite seeming short-term satisfaction or fun, leads to tragedy. That’s why I used characters in the lyric video, such as skeletons, coffins, or other horror scenes, but they deliberately look friendly, naive, even childish at first glance. They seem to be fun with them, but beware, they are still just dead people, “explains the processing of the video Vorda.

The single and video clip White Lines is also a signal of the creation of a new album, which the band plans to release next year.
