ELPO PRESENTS THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “LABRĪT” AND ANNOUNCES
ITS FIRST SOLO CONCERT AT PALLADIUM RIGA
Electronic music duo ELPO is releasing a new music video on October 12 for the song “Labrīt,” which tells an emotional story about the importance of human relationships and support from those around us. Alongside the premiere of the music video, the duo is also announcing their first solo concert, which will take place on April 2 at the Palladium Riga concert hall.
The song “Labrīt” is about the people who help us climb out of pits of doubt, about the moments when we cannot untangle the knots in our own thoughts, but someone from the outside notices us. Its source of inspiration is not so much personal experience as the relationships observed around them, the selfless presence, and the support people give one another when faced with life’s hardships.
The song’s music video was created in collaboration with Renārs Tukris and Roberts Samušs from Uzbur Production. In it, Amanda moves in slow motion through a corridor while everyday life continues behind her. Filmed in a single continuous take in the creative quarter Provodņiks, the video reflects the contrast between a person’s inner struggles and the world around them, while also leaving room for each viewer’s own interpretation.
“In the video, we portrayed that feeling of loneliness when you are struggling with something in your mind and do not want to burden others with your emotional ‘baggage,’ which feels like it might scare away the people closest to you. It is that tunnel feeling in which you do not notice the everyday life and what is happening around you, and you avoid confrontation, but hope that these inner experiences will fade away in the light or the darkness,” says ELPO singer Amanda Bašmakova.
Along with the release of the music video, ELPO is also preparing for its first solo concert at Palladium Riga. After the debut album Brīvību meklējot, released this February, and concerts in various Latvian cities, the duo is ready for the next step. In the upcoming concert, ELPO will combine songs already familiar to listeners with music that has not been heard before.
“We are pleased with the summer we have had, with the chance to meet listeners in different cities across Latvia and fulfill our dream of performing our music live and meeting our audience. We are ready to take the next step and meet for a special ELPO concert at Palladium Riga. We are looking forward to meeting in person and performing our music, as well as playing songs that have not been heard yet,” says the duo ELPO about the upcoming concert.
