MARCH 19, 2020 (LOS ANGELES, CA) - Today, LA-based artist CHILLEMI shares his mysterious and entrancing new track + music video for “Neon Bride.” Shot on-site in Las Vegas, the video for “Neon Bride tells the tale of innocence and the dangers of flirting with wealth and influence. Directed by award-winning experimental filmmaker Ryan Rosewall and starring Giselle DaMier, best known for her recurring roll of Sandie in the 2017 series of Twin Peaks. CHILLEMI’S debut album With Woman, is set to be released spring 2021 via Taxi Gauche Records, pre-order HERE.

CHILLEMI shares, “Neon Bride’ came out of me mishearing a Lee Hazlewood line... when I realized he was not actually saying neon bride I figured that sounded like a good starting point for a song. Who doesn't like neon? I got home and wrote the song in about 20 minutes straight through. It doesn't always happen like that but when it does it feels like a gift so I always try to stay open to receive."
ABOUT UPCOMING RECORD - WITH WOMAN:
Dark sonic landscapes filled with heartache, longing and love is one way to describe CHILLEMI's debut LP With Woman. Recorded in producer Kyle Avallone's bedroom and Brian Chillemi's apartment in Brooklyn, this home recording takes us on a journey full of stark imagery, sensual experiences and down right intimate vibes. One part Alan Vega and one part Lee Hazlewood, "With Woman" drum machine drive pulses while guitars swirl and organs pump. In a cool, collected voice the tales unravel to a hypnotic effect and one can't help but be drawn in. Beautiful, yet stark arrangements are the mark of "With Woman" which feels calm, collected and yet raw and unhinged at the same time.  
 

LYRICS:
“NEON BRIDE”
Let the light shine down
as you walk the avenue
Sure, love is light 
when it’s so fresh and new
 
 
You met in a whirlwind
of flesh and wine
He bought you like a diamond
ripped from a mine
 
As you took your first steps
into the unknown
You held out your arms
as fire was thrown
 
My Neon Bride
remember where you came
you may be his now
but love ain't no game
 
My Neon Bride
remember who you are
if he is the night sky
you’re a burning star


ABOUT CHILLEMI:
Singing with an enigmatic allure, CHILLEMI’s style paints with broad strokes of cinematic themes. His sonic palette is filled with hypnotic pulses of love, lust and dust all wrapped up in a fever dream. The solo project of Brian Chillemi (Rose Cologne) has evolved from touring the US and Europe over the last 10 years. After moving to Los Angeles from his native home of New York City just months before the pandemic, CHILLEMI has set his sights on a more refined sound pulling from influences such as Lee Hazlewood and Nick Cave.
