DJ Connery shares music video for “Someone”

Based in the Austrian city of Salzburg, DJ Connery, the musical pseudonym of Reinhard Zwisler, is an artist whose sonic output is rooted in passionate lyricism and scintillating melodies, leading him to the heart of his audience’s emotions. Despite his debut celebrated in the rock band Magic Mirow, His current musical incarnation oscillates between the nostalgic echoes of 90s rock, contemporary indie rock and a touch of electronic music, creating a distinctive blend that finds its place between dream pop and slowcore.

The artist’s love for flying finds its parallel in the soaring nature of his music. Influenced by icons like Matt Berninger and Johnny Cash, listeners have drawn parallels between DJ Connery’s voice and the legendary Leonard Cohen. With his latest release, the single “Someone,” DJ Connery ventures into the realm of slowcore indie, delivering an introspective ballad inspired by a night spent with an unknown woman.

Channeling the mellow indie rock and emotive aesthetic of bands like Cigarettes After Sex, with “Someone” DJ Connery crafts a laid back and atmospheric sound. Opened by the soft plucks of a bass guitar, crisp drums enter with a gentle snap as DJ Connery’s rich vocals thread moving melodic leads and storytelling lyricism.

The delicate twang of clean electric guitar notes add colour to the arrangement as the hushed shimmer of organ lines stretch out below. It’s a dazzling sound of timeless songwriting full of elegant instrumentation and compelling vocal work.

Accompanying the single is a visually captivating music video directed by Stefan Stöger. The video intricately captures DJ Connery’s live performance, where he shares the stage with a woman who gracefully dances around him. This visual storytelling becomes a metaphorical representation of the night shared between two strangers, perfectly complementing the song’s themes.
