Amber Arcades has unveiled a video for Can't Say That We Tried.
The track is lifted from Annelotte De Graaf's new EP, 'Cannonball', which is due to arrive on June 2 via Heavenly Recordings and follow up her debut album, 'Fading Lines'.
Discussing the video, which was directed by Don Josephus Raphael Eblahan, De Graaf said:
"Sometimes when I'm bored I just randomly click when I get a notification that someone likes my page. Like a kind of market research I tell myself cos I can't accept that maybe I'm just a creepy internet stalker yet. This one day I clicked and I came on the Facebook profile of this guy Don and he had a link to his Vimeo page and since I was really bored I clicked further on that and then I saw he made some pretty amazing stuff. I especially liked this video he had made of an aquarium with dreamy fish. The week after my label guy told me it would be good to have a video for this song and I just thought about this fishy video. Like how the fish just float around, not knowing that there is this whole world outside of this aquarium, it's beautiful but also kind of sad, which is how I feel about this song. So I asked Don if he'd be into making an edit of his material to fit the song and shot some extra footage of me singing the tune to mix up with it. Like Sinead O'Connor vids kinda. I love how it all turned out and I love how the whole thing was kind of born out of a coincidence, like me clicking that notification that time. The magic of this internet world."
Amber Arcades will play sets at Popular Culture in London, Live At Leeds, FestEVOL in Liverpool and Sounds From The Other City in Manchester later this month. She will also appear at Totnes' Sea Change Festival in August and and Blackburn Holy Trinity Church for Confessional 17 in September.
