Fabúla

“With His Eyes Closed is a poetic masterpiece that catches you off-guard with enchanting vocal melodies and wonderful slow rhythms.”

With His Eyes Closed was released with a stunning music video that captures some details of the eventualities that happen in a European city. The static shots used in the video look vintage and intentionally capture randomness. The song is lo-fi and features some really dark and mysterious melodies that go very well with the raw music video. The song was produced by Fabúla herself, in collaboration with exceptional guitarist Birkir Rafn Gíslason. His riffs add twisted flavours to the already amazing song. The song has some parts with creative use of trumpets that blend into the rhythmic guitars like salt blends in water.
