Haujobb has revealed its new video single “Opposition”, which is featuring guest vocals by Emese Árvai-Illés from the Hungarian pop noire duo Black Nail Cabaret. The track is taken from the bandµ’s forthcoming new album “The Machine in the Ghost”. The German duo’s tenth full-length is slated for release on September 20, 2024.

Haujobb says this about the track: “Adding guest vocals towards the end of the song was basically the idea of a Saturday afternoon”, programmer Dejan Samardzic explains on behalf of the duo. “Emese is such a reliable artist, she delivered her impressive vocals within 24 hours. Maybe she sensed the urgency this had for me. I could hardly wait to add that new element to the arrangement as it brought a strong organic feel to it.”

Emese Árvai-Illés adds: “Dejan had some wordless singing in mind, like the side vocals of the Eurythmics’ classic ‘Sweet Dreams’, and he asked me to just improvise”, the Hungarian singer reveals. “I recorded a couple of takes and did some random Adlibs at the end. That gave me somewhat of a Massive Attack ‘Unfinished Sympathy’ feel, but in a more industrial way.”

The video, which you can see below, was created by Boris May (Klangstabil).
