EDEN - 'good morning' music video.

EDEN has shared a music video for 'good morning', lifted from his latest album, 'no future'.

The video begins at a picturesque beach, before a short text interlude ("As day breaks mortality / colors run and bleed / for fear now's the only time there is / and just as good night comes following / follow down and seem / I, who watched this disappear / and out of the dark you'll find / given the time and space / the world will bend to guide you") before the setting changes to a desert in Morocco.

Listen: Holly Humberstone's new song 'Falling Asleep At The Wheel'.

Following her debut single 'Deep End', Holly Humberstone has shared a new song, 'Falling Asleep At The Wheel', which she told Clash magazine is about "losing momentum and feeling like your emotions will slowly destroy the relationship you’re in and you altogether. I think the dark, wonky sonics define who I am musically, which is why 'Falling Asleep At The Wheel' is such a milestone track for me, and has taught me so much about myself as a musician."
