Dahl Haus has released a film noir video for their song ‘Silhouettes & Alibis,’ a gothic love story of toxic lust and obsession. The song recently debuted on paul is dead records’ AAPI charity compilation album, ‘Subversive To Care.’ With a pre-chorus hook that declares “My love is Jekyl to your Hyde,” the song is perfect for serenading your crazy ex-lover during cold and dark October booty calls or as the soundtrack to sex in the cemetery.
With COVID precautions making shoots virtually impossible, singer/songwriter/music producer Blaise Dahl says she found inspiration in Lana Del Rey’s breakthrough DIY spliced “Video Games” music video. To create the slightly over four-and-a-half minute spooky, sexy storyline, Dahl expertly edited seventeen clips of stock footage she found on Pond5.

‘Silhouettes & Alibis’ is the second single that the band has donated to causes close to their hearts. paul is dead records’ carefully curated ‘Subversive To Care’ album splits its profits equally among the Asian Mental Health Collective, National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum (NAPAWF), and The Tibet Fund – organizations that form a critical support system for Asian Americans during this difficult time. Dahl Haus’ lead guitarist, Daniel Kasshu, is half Japanese, and he has personally felt the crushing anxiety that builds from the constant threat of street harassment at a time when the New York Police Department reports a 375% uptake in Asian Hate Crimes. The label has already raised over 1,200 dollars with a pay-what-you-want price strategy on Bandcamp and plans to continue donating indefinitely.
