‘Down To Rest’ is the second single released from Tom Stephens’ upcoming debut album, and after a bit of time out in the wild it’s now got a matching video that helps to flesh out its narrative threads.
The clip, starring friend and collaborator Julia Jacklin, tells the tale of Tom’s weariness with a relationship that seems to be coming apart at the seems. At first sounding relatively upbeat, it soon becomes clear that the splendid composition of ‘Down To Rest’ is steeped in melancholy.
His solo work should come as no surprise, as Tom plays in one of our favourite emerging Sydney outfits, Phantastic Ferniture, as well as drumming for the very talented Jacklin. We’re looking forward to hearing the record.
