La Cozna Release “Blanche biche” Music Video
French experimental folk quartet La Cozna has released the music video for their latest single “Blanche biche.”
La Cozna, a French experimental folk quartet, released a sonically audacious debut album at the end of August. The album blends contemporary music with popular songs from the traditional French repertoire. The outstanding music video for the track “Blanche biche” was directed by Virgile Jardin.
La Cozna explains:
“‘Blanche biche’ is a song that dates back to the Middle Ages and is set in Brittany. The lyrics remind us of witch hunts, which were brutal and often associated with sexual violence.”
Marguerite, who transforms herself into a white deer (a mystical animal recurrent in Celtic tales), tries to escape from her brother, who mistakes her for game. He kills her on the hunt and devours her in a sinister banquet. The song is arranged with a single melodic motif, the notes of which are distributed among the instrumentalists. This haunting motif plays with its rhythmic accents, timbres and nuances to escape us. Metamorphosed to the extreme, it eventually dissolves in a bath of chilling sound.
The music video is a stop-motion paper-cut animation by Virgile Jardin, which moves between the aesthetics of storytelling, surrealist tableaux, and horror. A lonely young woman, Marguerite, feeling threatened by her brother Renaud, tries to conceal her fear and sadness under an appearance of happiness. Unable to conceal her true nature, she flees into the forest when Renaud comes after her.
