“Whilst conveying a story of rock bottom, “Charade” offers a glimpse into the consequences of trying to be a perfect person within every facet of life. This sad story is about someone who feels so afraid to show their true state of being to other people in fear of being criticised, rejected and unloved. This character tortures themselves day in and day out by hiding their ocean of pain from others in an attempt to play a lovable character everyone could accept.” Says Siana Davis (writer, lead singer + bassist).
“I reflect on the mountain of mental torture not openly discussed as a person experiencing neurodifference and mental health adversities. The unmanageability can leak into every aspect of life so immensely that the awful projection of considered death rattled me. By grace, an unconditional person gave me some incredible advice and comfort in reconsidering life – “take a breath before you choose to die”.”
The video for “Charade” has dark, moody and visually metaphoric themes of melancholia that carries the song message through to the viewer. Starting off with a juxtaposition of fake happiness and dissociation, this music video leads the viewer into its enticing unease that leaves them on the edge of their seat.
Krave burst onto the scene with a double EP debut; Self Exposure and Inner Asylum. Having played main support for American thrash-rock Suicidal Tendencies and Swedish heavy-hitters Avatar, Krave have proven themselves as a worthy newcomer. Prepared for a huge 2024 of new music releases, Krave are elevating their sound to a whole new level with “Charade.”
