Arliston’s first single of 2020 ‘South’ has had a fantastic reception and now they release the accompanying video. The trio consistently deliver intriguing and artistically accomplished visuals for their singles and ‘South’ is no different. The opening shot offering a stomach turning and mysterious proposition: a totaled car with plenty of strange and inexplicable damage. The narrative then takes over as a couple take turns alternately damaging and repairing this car, which stands metaphorically in place of the relationship. As front-man Jack explains; ‘Lyrically the song centers around a theme of amassed damage, how tiny acts of destruction can add up to something far worse than the sum of its parts. At what point is there too much layered scar tissue to keep moving forward in a relationship?’
