Glass Ocean release new music video for ‘Bolero’

GLASS OCEAN have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Bolero, is taken from the Australian progressive metal band’s upcoming debut album, The Remnants Of Losing Yourself In Someone Else, which is scheduled to be released in August.

The new music video was filmed in lockdown and the song showcases the band’s ability to intertwine soulful groov and restrained passion, with an almost 80s power-pop feel.

Speaking about the song and it’s accompanying music video, vocalist Tobias Atkins says, “during the shooting of the video for Bolero, the country was right in the midst of its strictest lockdown measures. This made production requirements difficult to obtain. The silver lining was a chance to get creative with minimal tools, crew and sets. So my mum and I used what we could under the corona restrictions to come up with something we were really happy with. Along with the amazing editing skills of our chief of visual Adrian Goleby we ended up with something simple and vibrant.

Bolero represents the sentiment and understanding from being rejected. That attractive soul across the room may not want to dance with you. It may be because of their preference, or it might have something to do with how you represent yourself. How is it that you express desire and engagement in the outside world? Is it the real you or something else? Expressing the truth, with no filter or mask will attract something greater than impulsive desire. Maybe then the real dance can begin.”

The Remnants of Losing Yourself in Someone Else is set for release on August 21st via Wild Thing Records.
