Danish artist Trentemøller has teamed up with The Raveonettes singer Sune Wagner for his latest single, “Your Love Walks Alone,” released today. Coming off Trentemøller’s upcoming self-titled eight studio album, “Your Love Walks Alone” is described as a gothy torch song built from layers of industrial-sized fuzz. A video was released for the track, which can be found on Trentemøller and In My Room Recording’s channels.
The video – which opens with some harsh colors and flashing lights – has a unique heavily saturated animation style to it, done by animator DACU. The lyrics are coated in a dreamlike echo over the electronic and industrial sound of the instrumentals, containing hazy synths and booming drums. Describing the track, Wagner said, “A depiction of pure love slowly winding down and how it affects you in those moments where you realize you’re being ‘replaced.”
“Ever since Sune sang on my track ‘Deceive,’ we’d been talking about doing another song together,” said Trentemøller about the collaboration. “This time I had an instrumental that felt right for his voice, so I sent it over. He loved it, and pretty quickly came back with that great vocal that’s unmistakably Sune / The Raveonettes. With ‘Your Love Walks Alone,’ I feel like he hit the mood of the music perfectly. What I love is how the vocal melody is kind of ‘happy,’ while the lyrics are actually pretty dark. It makes for a good contrast against the more brooding, insistent sound underneath.”
Trentemøller’s new album will be out November 13th.
