Hannah McKittrick releases new music video for ‘Utensil’

HANNAH MCKITTRICK has released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Utensil, is the brand new single from the Australian alternative rock singer-songwriter and marks her first new music since 2022’s The day has again bruised me.

Speaking about the new single, McKittrick shares, Utensil is about letting things flicker in and out of your focus. It is about loving animals, noticing the wind on the surface of the Yarra and honouring the ceremony of it. To come home at midnight, still carrying the exuberance of the outside world with you but trying not to wake everyone up as you come in. To identify the colour you love and then every time it enters your vision you are given a gift. To throw things up in the air to see how they feel when you catch them. To touch and always honour its predecessor; reaching.”

The new song’s accompanying music video was directed and filmed on a handycam by her drummer and close friend Ollie Cox. It was shot in the Nicholas Building and the Abbotsford Convent; “we wanted the feeling of Melbourne to be palpable and unavoidable, but blurred slightly to allow room for our favourite forces; mystery, surrealism and fun,” McKittrick shares. “I love living in this city because it feels like people are close to me, and other people make me feel like I belong.”

Director Ollie Cox adds, “this video is testament to the trust that Han and I have for each other – something I value more than anything. We went in with no expectations or concrete plans, leaning into what excited us in the moment, and what looked good on that tiny handycam screen. The process was very simple and playful, which for me honours what the song is about.”
