With the dust still settling after the acclaim lauded on debut album ‘Konkylie’, When Saints Go Machine are poised to make their next step. The band are working on their next album, one that will see them push further ahead with their own vision.
Before that, though, When Saints Go Machine have pieced together a video for their new track ‘Mannequin’. Featuring plenty of CGI animation, you can watch the clip below:

Nikolaj Manuel Vonsild recently issued a couple of illuminating quotes about the potential direction of their second album. Lyrically, the material will be obscure while remaining “deeply personal”.
“It’s always been like that with my lyrics” he said. “I could tell you what I was thinking about when I wrote ‘Mannequin’ if it was about something trivial, but it’s not. Whatever I say it would be so simple that it would sound stupid compared to all the thoughts that run through your head and end up on paper. If you say a song is about losing what’s important to you or feeling that everything’s a mess or you’re in a dark place that’ll take something away from the song instead of giving something to it”.
“The songs have words and they are supposed to create images that make you feel something that you can relate to, whatever it might be. It’s not about what the artist thinks the song is about. I could be crying and you could be dancing. That’s one of the things I really appreciate and love about music.”
‘Mannequin’ is due to be released on June 18th.
