about

"Calling the creatures I do have inside" - this is how the new single "Creatures" by LUI HILL begins.

Who doesn't have them? The different sides, the ‘creatures,’ wrapped together in one that each come to light depending on the situation, motivation and mood. HILL found himself is such a situation during quarantine. Confronted with his very own creatures, the inspiration for the song was thick in the air.

‘Creatures’ was created within a single day together with his guitarist, Niklas Kleber. The atmosphere in the studio was so exuberant that the first vocal take became the final in the end. It still seems true that from a good old jam session, the best tracks often emerge.

It’s exactly this exuberant mood that can be heard in the song, both lyrically and musically. Ultimately these inner creatures sung about by LUI HILL are not necessarily good or bad. They’re simply demanding to be heard.

“I was on tour, and suddenly the noise around me was gone. I realized that I had come to consider this constant noise normal- but the overwhelming silence made these voices audible that I could never hear before. I called them creatures. Some of them were disturbing and frightening, others were gentle and encouraging and had a lot of wisdom. I tried to make friends with them all.”

Wrapped up in a Daft Punk/ Justice like robe, the track ends in a dramatic guitar solo. Yes, a guitar solo. LUI HILL gives the solo the well-deserved coolness again. Even a French flair can be found in the video. Director Nicolas Blanchadell gave presence to the individual facets of HILL with a self-realization group and various characters serving as the setting for the video.

The video characters range from shy, to nervous, to seductive and more, all played by friends and creatives from Berlin. Except for “Kevin,” no character was played by a professional actor, giving the plot an extra bit of charm.

“Creatures” is the single debut from his EP due to releae in Spring 2021.

lyrics

Calling the creatures I do have inside x 4

So is this the time I’m gonna lose my mind yeah
I’m trapped with all these creatures i knew I had inside
I see myself flying high, crash the other night
Solitude is a bottle of wine and I down it quiet

Calling the creatures I do have inside x 4

I feel so connected but I’m out of sight
This world I agreed on keeps me scrolling for delight
Sometimes I sing it beautiful sometimes I cough it
I feel I’m in this world but I just can’t be off it, no

Can’t be off it, no
I just can’t be off this world
I can’t be off it, oh
I just can’t be off this world
I can’t be off it, I
Can’t be off this world
I feel I’m in this world but I just can’t be off it

Calling the creatures I do have inside x 3
Calling the creatures I do
Calling the creatures I do have inside x 3
Calling the creatures I do, creatures I do

Dreams are the bright creatures of poem and legend
Who sport on earth in the night season
And melt away in the first beam of the sun,
Which lights grim care and stern reality
On their daylight pilgrimage through the world.

Calling the creatures I do have inside x 3
Calling the creatures I do, calling creatures
Calling the creatures I do have inside

The self-produced artist spends much of his time in his secretly located studio, where shadows and light show themselves in the music created. The sexiness of hip hop for indie, and dark electro beats for otherwise light indie-pop all merge and create the universe that is LUI HILL. ... more
