The Trouble Notes share music video

Based in Berlin, Germany, The Trouble Notes is an outfit on a mission to create their own cultural universe by sharing their self-described ‘acoustic dance music’ with the world. Fusing the warm organic tones of traditional folk instrumentation with the modern aesthetics of rock, roots music and cutting edge electronica, they offer their own sound of timeless music that drips in charm and originality.

Breaking down barriers, the trio seeks to unite people around the world in a celebration of art, music, dance and free expression, drawing on their experience of coming from three different countries themselves, their own creative story shines through in their sonic output.

Formed by violinist Bennet Cerven, Florian Eisenschmidt on guitar and percussionist Oliver Maguire in 2013, The Trouble Notes first made their studio music entrance in 2017 with their debut EP Grand Masquerade and have gone on to share a plethora of dazzling releases over the last five years. With their live performances, they’ve graced the stages of some of Europe’s most prestigious festivals and footage of their live shows have been watched over a hundred millions times.

Now they bring us their last single from 2022 and share the music video for their song titled “Never Dream Alone”. Taking inspiration from the cosplay community, with their new single the band delivers a joyous folk pop outing full of rhythm and musical wonder.

Tying together the worlds of neo-classical, traditional folk and tribal dance music in a seamless fashion, “Never Dream Alone” is a compelling display of assured musicianship and songwriting panache. With the song written for the 2022 Summer iteration of Europe’s largest outdoor cosplay festival called Elfia, the music video was shot during the festivities to capture the vibrant energy of the composition and attach the meaning to a visual representation of its context.
