We’ve already posted the sparse and beautiful Pray For You by Tydes via Soundcloud (featuring one of our favourite discoveries of the end of 2013 Låpsley) and now here’s a video. A man with a set of telescopic loppers, some support scaffolding in what appears to be the abandoned remains of a building, some undergrowth, some acrobatics and dancing are the main components here. We really have no idea what it all means, but then does everything have to have meaning? Sometimes it’s nice just to have art for arts sake without reading anything into it.
In other Låpsley related news, she’s been announced as one of the artists playing the 2014 Kendal Calling festival.
Tydes - Pray For You (Featuring Låpsley) - Video
Låpsley is rapidly turning into the new rising queen of the blogosphere following the release of Station and Painter (Valentine) - we’re pretty pleased to have helped her on her way a little. Yet whilst the downtempo beauties she’s been releasing recently sound languidly restful, she certainly isn’t taking it easy when it comes to creativity. Here she is again, this time with Tydes out of Los Angeles (real name Ian Edson) helping sprinkle her magic on his track Pray For You from his forthcoming EP released on March 17th. Just like the two aforementioned Låpsley gems Tydes keeps everything minimal with just a couple of repeated vocal lines, ghostly chilled production and drips of electronic elegance. Another melancholy sounding piece of slowtronica to put on repeat.
