St. Lucia Release New Making-Of Documentary, "Into The Sky: The Making of Fate Morgana"

Alternative rock husband-and-wife duo St. Lucia has released a documentary today via FLOOD titled “Into The Sky: The Making of Fate Morgana”, which details the creation of their ambitious double album Fate Morgana.

In a press release announcing the documentary, Jean-Philip Grobler stated:

"'Into The Sky' is the culmination of a little more than 7 years of work, from the point that we started making our new double album Fata Morgana in 2019 through to making the visuals in 2024 and 2025. When we set out to make this body of work, we had no idea where it would lead us, and in the end, it’s been the wildest ride we’ve ever been on as a project. This is the first time that we handled pretty much every aspect of the creative ourselves, musically and visually (with some help from friends and collaborators of course). We were fortunate to be able to capture a lot of the process with the help of my mom, Janine Grobler (who was a documentary filmmaker in South Africa when I was growing up), and Felicia Beranek, Patti’s sister, brought the documentary to life through her keen eye and editing skills.

It’s a bit of an overused phrase, but building the world of 'Fata Morgana' was a true labor of love and at many points in the process was extremely difficult. It’s become a tradition in this band, though, that we tend to break through things standing in the way of us, and so we managed to push through all the obstacles and deliver more than what we even originally set out to do: a double album with a distinct visual language where every song has its own unique visual.

 Despite the tough moments and occasional fights, we feel blessed to have been able to do this project with such a lovely and talented group of people who believed in the vision. I have to give a big shoutout here to our director and creative director on the project, Xander Ferreira. He approached us with the idea of creating this visual world when he heard the music, and without his idea we most likely would never have gone on this journey.”
