The Living Gods Of Haiti are something quite distinct.
Part art-project and part pop-endeavour, their sweeping, cinematic music is allied to a rich, intelligent sense of songwriting.
The Living Gods Of Haiti are currently working on a full studio album, but before then new EP 'Killing Lotus' is set to drop on April 29th.
Pirate Radio is able to premiere the accompanying visuals, and they're a striking insight into the project's unique world.
Rebekah explains: "With the video I wanted it to fully embrace the song's themes; explosive lust, primal desire, exposure, tenderness and awakening. Through it we follow the mesmeric attraction of two masked human forms representing the male and female parts of the self-pollinating Lotus flower. At the heart of this story is a potent desire, one expressed in movements that are deliberate, alluring, rhythmic and primal."
"The video actually features two separate dance formations. The first, celebratory, fast paced and rhythmic, is based on the traditional Indonesian 'saman' hand clap routine. Whilst the second is inspired by Zhang Jigang’s famous 'Dance Of A Thousand Hands'; "There are a thousand eyes on these hands which give great powers to observe the world."
