Fraternal Parisian duo, WuW have today premiered a new music video via Distorted Sound Magazine, for Ce Silence Qui Nous Délivre De Tout, taken from their latest album, Rétablir L’Eternité. Filmed by Mille Plateaux Productions, the band sought influence from Jean-Teddy Filippe’s ‘Les Documents Interdits (The Forbidden Files)’, a French series of short films. Of the music video, Guillaume Colin (guitars / percussion / keyboard) comments, “The main principle is that the fantastical and supernatural elements are only suggested instead of visible. Everything lies in the ambiguity of the images”.

The Climb is the first song from the session to be released, with the rest of the performance to be released at a later date.
