Slowly Slowly release new music video for ‘Blueprint’
SLOWLY SLOWLY have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Blueprint, is the brand new single from the Aussie rock band and is their first new music since the release of Race Car Blues: Chapter 2, which was released back in February.
The new single was mixed by Jon Gilmore [THE 1975, BEABADOOBEE] and speaking about the new single, frontman Ben Stewart explains, “there was no awkward small talk, no drugs needed to stimulate conversation (granted there was booze), but I’ve got a feeling it was mostly the blistering loud music and the fact we hadn’t all been together in so long. Honestly my house was destroyed the next day, but strangely it just reminded me of what it means to come home to something. Throughout lockdown that feeling of elation completely faded into a distant memory. This song then became something we planned to release after the harshness of it all had blown over – a party track that could become somewhat of a “fist-in-the-air’ moment after realising what we’d all been fighting for.”

Continuing to talk about the new single’s accompanying music video, Stewart adds, “this video was so fun to make. It was also a welcome challenge to create alter egos which we then had to flesh out in a solo setting – it wasn’t something that we have done before, but I like the pressure under the spotlight without others to lean on. I feel like this is the first video that really tested our acting skills (if you can call them skills haha) we were waiting for the others to finish their parts so we could see how they did, you know? Seeing how we stacked up. We were all pushing each other – I couldn’t imagine a more supportive crew as Kyle & everyone else on set really brought the best out in us.”
Music video director Kyle Caulfield adds, “Blueprint was by far the most ambitious and venturous project I’ve worked on, it was quite a reckless yet extremely rewarding and creative process. The ultimate ambition for the film was to mirror the new sound for SLOWLY SLOWLY and bring together a new SLOWLY SLOWLY universe. Using references from all corners of film, we wanted to build out a light and fun narrative, but our vision was to create impacting and timeless visuals that reflected the energy of the track, while maintaining a fun and goofy character exploration that stays true to the band in real life.”
