Southampton's Kafka Tamura caused a splash some 18 months ago with “Somewhere Else"—a song that came off like a female fronted Alt-J (without the bleating sheep vibes) mixed with the minimalist cool of the xx.The British band then spent 2014 beavering away on their debut album, which we're assured, will be released this year—once they finish their European tour that is. (Dates below.)Above is the video for new single "No Hope." Many of the elements that struck a chord with "Somewhere Else" are present here: the sparse guitars and Emma Dawkins's soulful coo, in particular, that manages to come off both coolly aloof and emotionally engaged in the same bar.Visually "No Hope" is a stunner Dawkins is decked out like a modern day Marie Antoinette gazing on beautiful, yet impassive, like Kirsten Dunst in Melancholia. There's a dark thoughts bubbling under the surface here, for sure. Spliced with this are images of her bandmates Gabriel Häuser and Patrick Bongers standing in woods swamped by ominous inky fog. And then things really get messy."The idea behind the video for 'No Hope' was to combine two worlds, a concept that is true to real life for Kafka Tamura," explain the band. "The video shows Emma’s world in comparison to that of Patrick and Gabriel. The song musically brings the two worlds together, as if they were one."Pass us a macaron.
