Swedish musician and producer Boerd just released the music video for his single Blind, via Anjunadeep Records. Having crafted his abilities playing double bass with the Swedish Royal Opera, Swedish Radio Symphony and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestras, he’s now taking that experience to his new endeavour, which will see him release a mini-album this March. He draws influence from artists such as Bonobo, Burial and Bibio for his solo efforts, creating melancholic and ambient style music – a stark shift from his previous work in big ensembles. The artist takes a hands-on DIY approach, using samples he’s recorded as well as directing the video himself.
Commenting on the single and music video, Boerd has said, “I ended up writing the script for the video myself. I thought driving a car with someone could be a metaphor for a relationship; you’re not always sure where you’re going or when (and if) you’ll arrive somewhere, etc. The song is about a relationship that’s not in complete balance, where something is a bit off. It’s a song about feeling vulnerable, which can really suck but also bring you close to someone. Rather than having the video tell a specific storyline, I tried to capture that bittersweet mix of uncertainty, vulnerability and affection.”
