Bears In Trees have shared a video for their new single Little Cellist, taken from their forthcoming debut album and everybody else smiled back.
“This is a story about me and a good friend of mine. She plays cello. She found me in a godawful state, which finally began my treatment journey for my mental health. I was lying on the floor of the student union building; me finally opening up to her allowed her to open up to me and we became each other’s shoulder to cry on. And she kept me safe during some very hard times,” explains vocalist/bassist Iain Gillespie.
The video for the track was directed by Jamie Benyon who said: “Bears In Trees created a beautifully poetic song, which demanded a powerful story and distinct images to convey the piece’s particular tone. We settled on a surreal world, employing reversed digital photography whilst intercutting with the nostalgic feel of Super 8, to replicate the experience of memory. Making the music video to the ‘Little Cellist’ has been one of the most challenging and creatively fulfilling filmmaking experiences in my career and I think we created something really special.”
