Sydney psych rock band Ocean Alley have unleashed a cinematic video for their latest single “Lapwing“.
The song is part of our current playlist and is lifted from their third studio album ‘Low Altitude Living’, released in June last year. Grab it here.
Speaking on the making of ‘Lapwing’, the band said, “Defining the concept of the film is difficult – we wanted it to feel as obscure and unpredictable as possible. It has a dream like presentation where everything makes sense and doesn’t at the same time.
It stars a protagonist that is trying to fit within a group of others superior and different to him, and during the course of the song he encounters obstacles – physical, social and psychological. Common themes that are present throughout the video are ones of, power, belonging, darkness, fear, freedom, and euphoria.
The biggest thing we wanted the viewers to take away from watching it is to create their own interpretations about what they think they saw, what it meant to them, and in what ways it relates to their own personal experiences.”
Watch the video below, it was directed by Jamieson Kerr.
