Corey Bowen is blessed with a supremely active imagination.
Still only 19 years old, the Middlesbrough native has been making music since he was just 13. Recently touring alongside Christopher Owens, Corey made a stellar turn at this year's Green Man festival.
Debut single 'If Birds With To Fly' is out this month, and it's a deeply English – and deeply odd – piece of psychedelic pop music.
Reference points could include Syd Barrett, Tame Impala, The Move and Ty Segall, but really Corey Bowen sounds like himself.
Clash is able to premiere the video for 'If Birds Wish To Fly' and it's a bizarre yet eye-catching clip.
Corey: “I knew I wanted to incorporate Moonbeam (the main character) into it as it is something I've been playing around with in writing for a while and knew there had to be some sort of dream girl in it so I chose Karen Carpenter because she's gorgeous and I absolutely adore her. I wanted the video to be as extraordinary as possible whilst using as little resources as possible. I didn't want to just make any old music video that you see all the time. I think, kinda loosely, that it has a great storyline which can evoke emotion and feeling. It's a love story.”
Watch it now.
