Marie Davidson - 'Back To Rock'
After playing her last live club music set, Marie Davidson exits the empty nightclub of an unnamed imaginary city and decides to wander about, still carrying her humongous musical gear suitcase behind her, like Sisyphus’s burden. On her path, she doesn’t meet anyone except a black dog, who soon starts to follow her. At first, she seems to ignore the animal, but in time comes to appreciate its presence. Her self-imposed exile in nocturnal and semi-dreamlike backdrops will bring her through industrial wastelands where abandoned non-places mingle with lost oil refinement factories to form breathtaking surrealist tableaus of urban decay. We are oblivious to the true destination of her existential and musical wandering, but sometimes, as Back To Rock suggests, the boldest move forward is to call it a night and get back where our heart really resides: home…
