We Lost The SeaSydney instrumentalists We Lost The Sea have dropped the anchor on their first track from their upcoming third record, Departure Songs, with the beautifully shot live video of opening track, A Gallant Gentleman, premiering on theMusic.com.au today.
The black-and-white video was shot at Sydney's prolific Studios 301 and features the haunting voices of Mercy College's girls' choir. The six-minute video has a slow build, though its wholly worth it when it comes to.
If you'd like to envision just who the gallant gentleman was, the song is said to tell of Lawrence Oates, "an army captain and explorer who walked off into the freezing Antarctic night on a expedition gone wrong, in an attempt to give his life to save the rest of his team. He knew he had become a burden on his friends. He knew their chances of survival would improve without him. So off he walked, alone, into oblivion."
Departure Songs is due out in July through Bird's Robe Records and Art As Catharsis Records, and you can pre-order it here.
