Rebel Yell‘s dropped a brooding new tune with music video to match.

The track, “Take Away” is an electronic journey of heavy beats and syncopated claps with a distorted yet stimulating visual aspect included.

We spoke with Rebel Yell ahead of the tracks release to find out the creative process behind the video and her music, and where this dark, groaning techno aesthetic spurs from.

Stoney Roads: This video is quite brooding and obscure really matches the tone of the music. How did the conceptualisation for the video come about?

Rebel Yell: Well anyone who knows me personally knows how much I love Iceland. I managed to get my boyfriend, my brother and his girlfriend to come over there with me in June and it would of been idiotic not to film a clip. The filming and editing credit goes to Yaws and the brotherly encouragement to him too. I knew the places I wanted to shoot (from driving around the country a couple of times now) and he helped direct me. Fun fact, the footage of me standing with smoke around me is actually steam from a geyser that had just erupted. And yes, I am well aware how dorky I look in this clip.

SR: What did you guys use to film this video? It definitely has a 90s vibe to it.

RY: It was filmed on my digital SLR actually, but the editing is most likely what gave it that effect.

SR: ‘Take Away’ is a cut from your debut EP. The music you make is quite dark and heavy. What influenced this style of music?

RY: Over the last couple of years my music taste has been moving towards darker electronic music and when it came time to write as Rebel Yell that must of filtered down into it.

SR: Technically speaking, your tracks have quite a thick, heavily instrumental build and are quite intense form start til finish. Can you share some of your creative process behind the music you make?

RY: I generally start one drum sound at a time, decide on a tempo and keep building and building. The lyrics are usually something I’ve chanted over and over under my breath on walks where I’ve seen a street sign with a particular ring to it. It’s all very complex.

SR: You’re a Brisbane local but Brisbane doesn’t quite seem to be the place for your music. What are your plans for the future?

RY: I’ve got a heap of shows coming up in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne, so that will be really interesting to see how I go down south. Then back to writing a whole new batch of demos.
