0171 Share Startling New Short Film

Featuring new tracks 'Welcome To My Channel' and 'The Utopians'...

​​0171 have released a short film to accompany two tracks from their brand new EP 'Welcome Back To My Channel'.

Directed by Jake Alden-Falconer, 'Welcome Back To My Channel / The Utopians' acts as a double video with an introspective focus.

Produced and written by 0171 and mixed by Joe Visciano, the video melds UK Garage and dance-pop with ambient electronica for an emotional journey.

The film begins ASMR-style by whispering words of affirmation. Sax played by Ajay Ratan buzzes underneath, before the video plunges into kaleidoscopic action.

The project channels a multitude of emotions to provide a take on self-care that feels utterly contemporary.

"At times we’d been feeling like we were losing ourselves, forgetting to be nice to ourselves," 0171 explain. "We wrote most of it in a cottage surrounded by sheep in Wales with no running water, and it did end up being a form of therapy for us – taking us from our lowest point in music to a place of positivity and love."

Tune in now.

Words: Gem Stokes
