History buffs like myself will be glued to the screen watching this audio-visual mashup, which sends chills with its repurposed wartime propaganda in conjunction with sleek Japanese artistry. The smooth and piecing blade-work of the Japanese warrior serves as a metaphorical representation of lead singer Olga Yagolnikov Phelan’s delicately sharp vocals. She cuts through the organized instrumental turbulence with a demeanor that stabilizes the surrounding uproar. Her powerful voice along with the boisterous backdrop swirl parallel to each other into a hurricane of emotion, stimulating an art that the video’s visual representation captures flawlessly.
