Mr. Beal's debut track Gilded is the first single of a 7 part EP (releasing over the coming year). The track has been featured on Wonderland, The Face and playlists including Fresh Finds Indie, Fresh Finds.
Described as a shapeshifting EP, it's a cut and paste collage of emotions, musings, relationships and of home. Born in Lapland and peppered with isolating landscapes, this track was written within snowy terrain during trekking — animal and landscape motifs move through the tracks. Time slowed in these desolate writing spaces and it shone a light on the insane fast paced living that cityscapes endure. This track reflects that intense rhythm.
Directed by Martha Treves, who blends its narrative elements with surrealist natural themes, the video fuses story and song into music video/short film.
