On the single, the band comment: “After over a year in the making, we’re so happy to finally be releasing ‘Firefly’. It’s been a huge amount of effort, involving a massive team of people. The song has something completely magical about it and I know the video is going to blow people away, it’s totally unique”.
Esoterica‘s ‘Firefly’ music video is not just a visual spectacle but a groundbreaking display of technology. Created using the latest advancements in Unreal Engine, Metahumans, Move.ai, and LiveLink, the video immerses viewers in a virtual world resembling a computer game. A young protagonist navigates a mysterious forest, guided by a luminous firefly, on a quest to confront the end-of-level boss – a cyborg version of Esoterica‘s lead singer, Tobias Keast.
Recorded at Middle Farm Studios and engineered by the accomplished team of George Lever, Izzi Warburton and Peter Miles, ‘Firefly’ captures the essence of Esoterica‘s heavy ethereal sound. The band’s fusion of atmospheric melodies, powerful vocals, and intricate instrumentation is destined to captivate listeners and leave them eagerly anticipating their next release.
