Vision Premiere: Emotional, Living In XTC.

RockShot Magazine is proud to premiere the video for Living In XTC by Emotional. Their debut album will be released via MÏLK on 9th September 2016. The song (taken from their album) and video work in perfect harmony and the extremely “trippy” feel has been bought to life by innovative London studio Werkflow who made the film.

Emotional is an experimental electronic pop duo made up of Sian Dorrer (The Bomber Jackets, PLUG and Ravioli Me Away) and Adam Parkinson (Dane Law and SDF).

Emotional

They formed in 2013 while experimenting with a collection of Sian’s field recordings, ancient Casio keyboards and Zoom drum machine loops. After countless hours spent in subterranean Dalston a collection of skewed electronic pop hits were formed and compiled into their debut album.

With influences of the band varying wildly from 90s house and trance music to Kathy Dennis, Depeche Mode and OMD, the music is born out of a deep rooted love of pop and an inability to make it normally

The song Hawaii will also be released as a single on the same day as the debut album, Emotional.

The enigma that is Alabama 3, the world’s only acid house country band, are the perfect strong finish to 2025.
