““As a band, we’ve always been fascinated by the paradox of the fool. Humor and darkness often go hand in hand, and it’s through the darkest cracks that light peeks through. Dancing Shadows is an exploration of this paradox: the light that comes from the darkness and the truths that lie hidden in a laugh.”
Greek (based at Athens) post punk / alternative rockers Jester Syndrome released their new (December 5th, 2024) EP “Dancing Shadows” and present the music video for the entitled track.
The video was directed and edited by Dimitris Nikolopoulos, and filmed by Dionisis Petroutsopoulos at Action Visual Productions studio.
The album, as the title suggests, is a musical exploration of the relationship between light and darkness. With “Dancing Shadows”, Jester Syndrome combines their rich sound with lyrics that delve into life’s contradictions, the laughter, and struggles we all face. Drawing inspiration from the paradox of the “jester” – a character who brings humor but also speaks the truth – the band has created an album that seeks to find light in the darker sides of the world and within ourselves.
The album is available now on all digital platforms and on CD, which includes exclusive bonus tracks from our Jester Syndrome Made in Hell live session. A raw and powerful recording straight from the heart of their sound.
Jester Syndrome will perform live the new EP “Dancing Shadows” at An Club (Athens) on 15th on December 2024.
