Still in her teens, Alicia Catling is quietly, patiently carving out an identity for herself.
Spreading her wings, a recent London show saw the precocious artist unveil several new tracks.
There's a sweeping melancholy to her work, one that is infused with an almost whimsical sense of Englishness. New track 'Plants' is a neat introduction.
Clash is able to unveil the video, which features a young girl waking on a hospital bed… in the middle of a field.
Here's some information from Alicia herself:
The video: is about the idea of a girl who falls into a coma and gets lost in a whimsical place. she finds a hospital bed in the middle of a field, with a seed on the pillow. absent-mindedly she takes the seed and plants it in hope of it growing to live, like herself. as the girl dies, the flower does too. in the end she falls back into her hospital bed and her pulse stops.
The song: is about the idea of death and decay and that people always end up on their own.
