Ghostpoet – Be Right Back, Moving House
Ghostpoet – Be Right Back, Moving House (2015)
Directed by: SBlood
Capping what has been a remarkable twelve months, British musician Ghostpoet has shared a reflective new video for current single ‘Be Right Back, Moving House.’ YThe video for the track, a muted yet inspirational study in self-reflection and progressing forward, sees one man’s metaphoric and literal plight to move forward and upward.
The video was directed by SBlood, who says; “the video is about every person’s struggle to achieve what they want, being trapped in the machine and the boredom of never ending routine. The track and the idea were a perfect fit, lyrically giving me an image of a man climbing an endless set of stairs, one step at a time. The idea was to create a dream-like sense to the video, influenced by the art of MC Escher and Japanese Anime artist Satoshi Kon.”
The track is currently nestling on the A-list at BBC 6Music and comes on the back of a recent run of arena shows with alt-J and The Horrors. It’s taken from his third album Shedding Skin, which—in addition to being universally heralded on its release earlier this year—was shortlisted for this year’s Mercury Prize.
