A month after releasing their spellbinding debut single "Colored Walls / Fly Low," newcomers SVIBES are ready to share a proper set of visuals for the ethereal track.
The video is officially out Friday but it's premiering today on Variance, as the duo offers up a preview of their upcoming debut album.
"It’s very rare that things align like they did for this video," SVIBES says of the new clip, which was directed by Rachel McDonald. "We put our trust in a very talented director and an amazing crew, and what happened was magical. There was little input from us beyond presenting our general aesthetic. They had a breathtaking location and fantastic leading lady, and they created something extremely powerful. It was an inspired shoot and we’re incredibly grateful."
"Colored Walls / Fly Low" is the first of two singles coming from SVIBES, which is made up of producer Chris de Luca, hailing from Germany, and singer Sanders Bohlke, from Mississippi.
The pair has said the track is about self-perception: "Thinking you are one thing—autonomous, capable—and then being released into the world and realizing you were not what you thought you were. The chorus is some voice letting you go, but warning you to 'fly low,' a nod to the story of Icarus."
SVIBES is now based in Los Angeles and they are currently working on their debut record.
