JOHN CARROLL KIRBY BLUEBERRY BEADS

L.A pianist and composer John Carroll Kirby has released a new video for the slow-moving, piano centred track 'Blueberry Beads', lifted from his 2020 album My Garden; a collection of gentle, jazz-inflected piano with warm electronics. Directed by John Carroll Kirby and Angela Suarez, the new video has a strong focus on natural elements; birds fly among the clouds, Kirby swims with the fish in a clear blue sea and offers the lens a view of the frog he's found. Kirby “Angela and I met in Merida, and then traveled around the Yucatan and Oaxaca picking up shots where we felt the inspiration. I feel like the loose easy going nature of the video reflects the feeling of the song, which itself was put together spontaneously”. 'Blueberry Beads' is out on Stones Throw, check it out here. -Ellie Rose-Davies
