Live Review: PREMIERE: Hopium 'Cut' (Official Video)

Hannah Galvin
Originally Appeared In

Melbourne duo Hopium are proving to be an artist to watch with their debut single , 'Cut'.

Anonymous Melbourne duo HOPIUM have slipped a very exciting film clip in our mailbox - the video to their debut single 'Cut'.

Illustrating an eloquently sombre wash of crumbling beats, moving string-work and rich samples bound together by moody undertones, Hopium complete their theme with intoxicating vocals that demonstrate the complex chemistry the act possess.

Co-released with a visual clip crafted by Yoav Lester, Chris Mitchell and Superteam Studios' Ribal & Gil, we're glued to a black and white display of inky silhouettes, gorgeous choreography and an exploration of the art and purity of the human form.

Inhabiting a creatively refreshing sound, the future of Hopium is looking rather bright. For future listens and news on the Melbourne outfit, keep up to date with them via their FACEBOOK and SOUNDCLOUD.
