EVERYTHING HERE IS BLACK AND BLINDING
This is technically We Lost The Sea’s first proper music video. It’s always been a challenge to try and make videos for songs as long as we write.
So when we landed on this 7 minute banger, we decided to go for it. We enlisted the help of our friend, and fellow Bird’s Robe band dad, Simeon (SEIMS, Birdman), who is a TV guy by trade, to help us put this together.
He and the team did an incredible job and made it look like a million bucks (definitely did not cost a million bucks).
The video follows a sole protagonist (the very talented Emma Dunstan) who dances and writhes her way around a cursed space to outrun her inner
demons only to embrace the darkness in the end.
To tie it in to the wider theme of the album it references inspiration from Frida Kahlo, a revolutionary, artist and somewhat cursed individual herself.
This song is meant to be a protest, a war cry against evil. It has two distinct halves that transition from dark to light which brings it into the world that we’ve created for the new record.
