722) Essie Holt ft. LANKS - Distant Places

The Unearthed NIDA project is one you should definitely get to know if you haven't yet. Each year, hundreds of independent musicians from Australia go through an exclusive selection process in order to have their music videos imagined and created by students of Kensington's National Institute of Dramatic Art. One of 2018's winners was this moving track from Sydney-based artist Essie Holt, featuring LANKS. The pair's beautiful, somber harmonies and mellow vocal tones and the song's painful lyrics about a love story's failure inspired director Riley Spadaro and set & costume designer Grace Deacon to film a simplistically haunting choreography-focused music video in an abandoned underground train tunnel. If you're an indie enthusiast that enjoys music by the like of Maggie Rogers, Passenger, and AURORA, you'll probably connect with this vulnerable piece.
Enjoy! ♪
