Here’s an absolute ripper of a clip from UK-turned-Melbourne folk-pop singer Millington, the creepy and even brutal subject matter completely at odds with the sunny composition. Made by the team at Oh Yeah Wow (Client Liaison, The Jezabels, The Cat Empire), it uses the cute little thing you see above to illustrate the idea of a relationship that’s “more give than take.”

“The song itself is about birth, euphoria, love, life and hope,” says Millington of the project. “The video portrays lust, relationships, debauchery, fear and death. The two marry together in an ultimate portrayal of the twists and turns of many a tale told by the reality we exist in.”

It’s a brilliant watch, and has us intrigued to see what else he releases ahead of his debut EP in 2017. For now, you’ll be able to catch him playing at Some Velvet Morning, Clifton Hill on November 2 – bring your bug spray, just in case…
