""Katadiki" encapsulates that haunting moment of waking from a dream, only to confront the unsettling realisation that one is trapped in a situation not of one's own making. It's a visceral reflection on the sacrifices required to attain awakening, interwoven with themes of religious fear and the journey of growing up. The music video expands and enriches this narrative, immersing viewers in a ritualistic, dreamlike world crafted through a collaborative vision involving VASSIŁINA, Vinyl Face, and Iokasti Mantzog."
"Originally conceived as an EP featuring collaborations with Greek indie and alt-pop artists, i.par.ksia.ko has blossomed into a full-length exploration that marks VASSIŁINA's first entirely Greek-language project. This album dives into the existential dilemmas of entering one's 30s, capturing the tension of living between two vibrant cities, London and Athens, and grappling with the ongoing uncertainty of belonging. Each city, in its own way, embodies a parallel life, reflecting the bittersweet nature of relocation and identity that defines VASSIŁINA's journey."
VASSIŁINA premieres the visually striking music video for "Katadiki," directed by Berlin- and Athens-based filmmaker Alex Brack, which probes consciousness and the subconscious. "Katadiki" portrays the haunting moment of waking from a dream to realise one is trapped in a situation not of one's own making, reflecting sacrifices required for awakening, religious fear, and the journey of growing up. The video builds a ritualistic, dreamlike world through collaboration with Vinyl Face and Iokasti Mantzog, centring on embodiment, protection, and collective awakening. i.par.ksia.ko evolved from an intended EP into a full-length, entirely Greek-language album that explores entering one's 30s, living between London and Athens, and the tension and bittersweet nature of relocation and identity. Musically, the project balances pop aesthetics with darker electronic influences and a live amalgamation of punk.
