ARTMS Prepares to Take Flight with ‘Club Icarus’
On June 9 at midnight KST, K-pop girl group ARTMS released a teaser video for their title track ‘Icarus’ from their upcoming album ‘Club Icarus’ through their official social media channels. The teaser offers dramatic imagery and emotional depth, setting the stage for their anticipated comeback.
A Visual Tale of Rebirth
The teaser begins with the image of a girl curled up as if she has lost her wings, evoking a sense of vulnerability and loss. As the visuals unfold, she rises with a determined expression, accompanied by a striking line of text reading ‘Icarus’ in a glowing blue font, symbolizing a moment of awakening.
The mood intensifies with stirring string instruments and a fluttering camera movement that mirrors emotional instability. The teaser closes with a powerful line from ARTMS: “Find me.”
Artistry Meets Emotion
The music video is directed by Digipedi, a creative team known for their artistic aesthetic and close collaboration with ARTMS. They’ve incorporated elements of contemporary dance to enhance the visual narrative, raising expectations among fans and critics alike.
An Album for the Wounded
‘Club Icarus’ takes inspiration from the emotional scars people carry, portraying a hidden sanctuary for the wounded. Set against the metaphor of a neon-lit jungle beneath urban skyscrapers, the album tells stories of silent pain and resilient hope through ARTMS’s unique lens.
According to their agency, Modhaus, ARTMS aims to connect deeply with listeners who find comfort in music that acknowledges both struggle and healing.
Comeback Details
The full album, ‘Club Icarus’, will be released on June 13 at 1 PM KST. Leading up to the release, ARTMS will hold a comeback showcase on June 12 at 8 PM KST at the YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Fans can expect to witness the premiere of new performances and get a closer look at the concept behind ‘Icarus.’
As ARTMS steps into this bold new era, their deep storytelling and genre-bending artistry continue to redefine what it means to be a modern-day K-pop group.
