- Wonderland
"...a powerful exploration of mental health, captured stunningly…"
- GoldenPlec
For Fans of...Daughter, Lucy Rose, Fenne Lily
Maria Kelly has now shared the stunning video for her latest release, Dark Places. Directed by Maria herself, she explains "the song itself is a very literal description of what it feels like to be depressed. I wanted a visual that was as equally to the point. I had this whole timeline in my head, of coming home from a night out and suddenly realising you were alone with your thoughts again. I storyboarded the whole thing and we filmed it over two days in Berlin. The guys at Roughcast took it and ran with it - they were really incredible to work with and understood exactly what I was trying to get across. I hope it resonates."
Lighter places...
• The video for Dark Places premiered exclusively on GoldenPlec .
• The single originally premiered on Nialler9.
• It is part of a AA-side single, along with Small Talk, which premiered on The Line Of Best Fit.
• Dark Places / Small Talk is now available to buy on vinyl.
