Music News - C. Zukey releases beautiful minimalist music video for his song 'Keep Love'
18 May 2024 - 0 Comments
Following the release
of his debut album Stone Fruut, C. Zukey is excited to announce a music video the song Keep Love is out now.
Directed by Strahan Cole the video is a family affair and features close up
shots on the eyes of C. Zukey, his wife Lydia, and son Bastian. It also
focuses in and out on shots of the gypsophila flower; “It’s a very common
wedding flower which we used for our wedding. At the start of the video you can
see fresh and vibrant flowers with shots of white fabric that you’d see at a
wedding. Towards the end of the video the gypsophila have dried, which
represents loss, but while the flowers may have lost their colour, they’re
still beautiful to behold.” - C. Zukey
Speaking to the intense zoomed in shots Strahan Cole says “I have a fascination
with tiny physical elements that make us up and how that crosses over with
their sensations and more abstract things like love or grief. Eyes are magical
but they're also disgusting. Or beautiful! They're windows to the soul and from
the other direction they allow us to see the people we love.”
The pleading lyrics “Find my love” repeat over shots of a tired Lydia and the
video ends on the teary eyes of C. Zukey. This minimalistic video mirrors the
restrained instrumentation of the song and the symbolism throughout the video
captures the deeply personal experience of Keep Love.
"I tried to write something that just sounded and felt nice and light, but
has depth with context. It’s about trying to hold onto love after tragedy, and
due to the severity of Lydia’s brain injury, wondering if she still holds
memories of our love.” - C. Zukey
The video is being released on May 18th to mark the 5 years since Lydia's injury, and Bastian's birth.
Keep Love is the fourth track from Stone Fruut released earlier this month,
it is available internationally on all major streaming platforms and Bandcamp.
C. Zukey has been working away on these songs in secret for over two years
across studios on Krd, in Diamond Harbour and Mt Eden's the Lab. The album was
produced by Mark Perkins (Merk/Marlon Williams) and mixed by Shannon Fowler
(Tom Lark). Featuring instrumentation from Alex Freer (Tiny Ruins/A.C Freazy)
and Finn Scholes (Carnivorous Plant Society).
