Collapse | matka | song and video release

Time scatters

We run — but do we hide?
 

tick tack
 the roof is cracking,
 

covering our fur with pale dust

tick tack
 

how do we react


when what we used to know
 

takes on a different shape 

—
 or even falls apart?
 

From whom do we run?
 

We do fly, sometimes

Do we dance alone

or go to sleep with a kiss on our cheek?

matka is proud to share Collapse — our new song and video!
 It was filmed in Ulrika’s studio on a sunny day, in the final week of winter.
  

Frame by frame, the lens captured our search for… well, for what exactly?
 Meaning? A storyline?
 Maybe just those fleeting, random things that cheer us up
 when we think no one is watching.

As always, Martin was the eye and the ear — creating the music and editing the video.
 Ulrika wrote the lyrics, came with the hookline, sang and dug out some forgotten props from her storage.

Some bands have their beginnings at concerts or parties. matka has its origins in a television shoot where the Swedish singer/artist Ulrika Segerberg and the German musician/filmmaker 

Martin Kleinmichel bumped into each other with a team from the local channel. They first played in the mathcore post hardcore band “Kratze” in Berlin and soon after founded their own 

project for Segerberg's multilingual lyrics and Kleinmichel's eclectic electro sound. Since then, the duo has grown together in songwriting and their new tracks cover a wider stylistic variety 

from triphop ambient to electro and jazz. You find our songs on Spotify and Bandcamp. The former videos are all on Ulrika´s website – take a look and have a listen!
