London artist Liz Cass has shared her latest video for the track ‘Killers’, which is taken from her upcoming debut album, scheduled to land next year via Ultra Records.
Directed by Conrad Gamble, the gorgeous visuals find Liz Cass delivering an emotional performance which incorporates the art of dance to communicate the battles of anxiety and depression which can be highly overwhelming at times.
Touching on the single, Liz Cass mentioned:
“Killers’ was the second song I ever wrote with my producer and co-writer Ed Graves. It finally felt like I was in a safe space to write about the post-natal depression and anxiety that I struggled with after I had my son.
During that time I felt really disconnected from myself and crippled by it. I became afraid of the dark again as the panic attacks often came at night. I tend to write a lot about the complexities of relationships and toxic connections, but it felt important to use my music to help process this experience. I find music to be an amazing form of therapy. Some of the other songs coming on the album also touch on it as well.
The video was directed by Conrad Gamble who is an old friend. I wanted it to communicate that feeling of being overcome by this crippling feeling that comes out of nowhere but in a subtle way. It was really special to have my younger sister Coline Atterbury in the video and she essentially represents the anxiety itself. In the end there’s a scene when she wraps her arms around me to provide some resolution as I make peace with it and realise I’m not in any real danger. The feeling never lasts and you always get back to yourself.”
