Vera Farmiga Instagram – Alt rock band THE YAGAS, fronted by Oscar and Emmy-nominated actress Vera Farmiga, whose new film The Conjuring: Last Rites is in theatres today, has released their new single “Illusion.” The haunting track, featuring Fynn Hawkey, son of Farmiga and husband/YAGAS keyboardist Renn Hawkey, on cello, serves to complement the film’s harrowing tale. “Illusion” follows the release of THE YAGAS’ independent debut full-length album, Midnight Minuet, in April.
“‘Illusion’ is my auditory expression of The Conjuring: Last Rites,” shares Farmiga. “THE YAGAS wrote this song whilst I was in the ectoplasm thick of filming C4. The song emerges from a strange convergence of two events – my terrified offspring running into my bedroom, haunted by an out-of-body experience, and my on-screen child, Judy Warren, experiencing psychological torment. ‘Illusion’ is our sonic interpretation of this haunted dreamscape – the fragile space between fear and acceptance; the space where you realize that the things in your head may be much more than just your imagination.”
