Douglas Dare brings forth the video for his emotional song ‘Oh Father’. Directed by Jeremy Carne and Nikolas Kasinos, what initially looks like Dare struggling to break free of the grips of a figure, he eventually turns back and run towards that same person hugging him with a tight grip. Filmed in Berlin, the video was shot in one take. ‘Oh Father’ is taken from Douglas Dare’s forthcoming album Aforger, out October 14th via Erased Tapes.

In a press statement discussing the single, Douglas Dare wrote:

“Oh Father is certainly the most personal song I’ve put out in to the world and the subject is a sensitive one, so I felt any visuals we created had to respect this. I wanted something that wouldn’t distract from the song itself; the lyrics are quite purposefully unambiguous and are direct, so we chose to do a single-shot that would intensify the song and not allow the viewer up for air. The audience will read what they will in to the video and, I hope too, the song; for me they are both honest.”
