Australian sibling duo Belle Roscoe beguile audiences with an intoxicating concoction of gritty modern Americana and classic ‘70s-tinged folk-rock, as heard on their current single ‘The Birds’. Now the duo release the accompanying video for the song ahead of their set at the Black Deer Festival on June 17th. Watch the official video HERE.‘The Birds’ sees Belle Roscoe put their spirit animal Mojo The Walrus back in the spotlight after they were all arrested in London whilst filming the visual for their single ‘Soho Shoes’. Belle Roscoe (Julia and Matty) first met Mojo in the small hours during sessions for their upcoming EP ‘Talking To The Walrus’. They were experimenting with psychedelics while listening to some classic John Lennon when Mojo suddenly appeared as a mysterious vision – one which guided their moral compass and embodied the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll. The video for ‘The Birds’ channels the song’s themes of environmental devastation with a visual full of striking aerial shots and captivating natural beauty, its epic scale and ambition bringing to mind both ‘The Mandalorian’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’. This time, Mojo is transported to Arbus in Sardinia, where droughts and forest fires have ravished the landscape. Parched with thirst, he travels through the sun-scorched setting to lay a solitary tree within the desert – a symbolic but surely futile protest. Watch it HERE. The video was shot on a tight budget. It was made possible by a friend whose connections with the Sardinian Film Commission opened up the opportunity to shoot in a location which is usually out of bounds. Belle Roscoe directed the film with their close friend Alessandro Garau. Belle Roscoe commented, “We felt compelled to continue Mojo’s journey by taking him from a dystopian city to a beautiful world of wild, untouched and preserved nature. As devastating as the pandemic was, this new video serves to remind us all of the imminent devastation to come if we do not truly consider the climate crisis and the possibility of planet extinction.” |
