Athens-based electronic-pop duo Marva Von Theo has just released their new single “The Woman I Left Behind”. The track previews their third full-length album “We Were Never Lost”, expected in late 2025.

The new single was produced by Foinidis with mastering handled by George Priniotakis at Artracks Recording Studio.

A video for the single “The Woman I Left Behind” has also been released. The official music video, directed by John Karabelas, visualizes the song’s themes through a cyclical narrative that moves between dystopian landscapes and futuristic interiors. It features cinematography by Zaphiris Epaminondas and Yiotis Vrantzas, with editing by Karabelas.

Musically “The Woman I Left Behind” blends synthpop, art-pop, progressive-pop, and cinematic textures. Thematically the song explores emotional struggle, self-forgiveness, and rebirth. According to the band, the titular “woman” represents a symbolic figure of inner strength and hope, urging the narrator to “defy the order of things and seek meaning despite despair.”

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
