Turkish post punk She Past Away duo return with the single and video for Mizantrop, the title track from their new album which has been an anticipated release, and comes highly recommended in its entirety.
Leaning decisively into classic post punk and darkwave territory, Mizantrop pairs imposing vocals with a lush, synth-heavy foundation and crystalline production that cuts through with striking clarity.
Shot in imposing black and white, the cinematic video embraces a powerful simplicity, perfectly delineating the song’s brooding atmosphere and dark, magnetic mood. Mizantrop grapples with negativity, insomnia, and a sense of emotional hollowness before culminating in a sense of self-deprecating sincerity.
