NOIR
(In the Lips Left Hissing video) the dancer is Annie Keating, a dear friend of mine (and a professional dancer/teacher). There was no grand concept behind the Lips Left Hissing video; only that I knew I couldn’t convey the sentiment of the lyrics in a video.
I was pleased with the Last Night I Saw Myself with the Animals Video as low-production/snuff-film-esque as it is…
I wanted to keep the low light, shaky; handheld, cut-up feel…but I wanted something dramatic, powerful and (importantly) beautiful happening, to accompany such a complex lyrical concept. I think Annie really does that.
I wish I could give some really big elaborate and artistic response, but that’s honestly it.
That, and I can’t stand three days of editing my own face, it’s enough to make me shudder for all eternity.
The video – his hands over his eyes and revealing little of his face. It is a simple concept but one that documents the torment and physicality of his feelings.

STUDIO NOIR
Working with a long time collaborator in the engineer and co producer seat, considering the isolated way in which Bleek Noir records are normally made, this was a series of firsts for Bleek Noir. Having first worked together when Fox was 12 years old, and regularly thereafter before a considerable break, Fox felt Mark Walker the perfect man to help conceive a new sound for Bleek Noir. Which was exactly what happened!
Here’s a peek into the making of the record.
