Brodo bites into the strange persistence of memory on ‘Mordi’

Brodo explores the strange things we forget, and the even stranger things that refuse to disappear, on evocative new single ‘Mordi’.

At its heart is a deceptively complicated question: how can we miss something we’ve almost forgotten? It might be a childhood summer, a person, a feeling or an entire period of life, but certain fragments remain long after everything surrounding them has faded.

‘Mordi’ examines that uneasy relationship with memory, particularly the way seemingly important experiences can vanish while tiny, apparently insignificant details survive untouched for years. As time passes, the boundary between what actually happened and what we believe happened becomes increasingly blurred, even while the emotions attached to those memories remain remarkably vivid.

With ‘Mordi’, Brodo gives a voice to those nameless absences that quietly follow us through everyday life, using the past not simply for nostalgia, but as a way of trying to understand the present.
