Musician Yoke Lore recently released his EP, Absolutes, to critical acclaim and has released the music video for his single “Concrete.” The video was filmed while on a trip to Kauai, Hawaii and the video captures the island’s majestic landscapes in first-person narrative. The video also features footage from time spent in NYC, to mimic the single’s message about needing to live in the city and in the wild.
“The song “Concrete” is about my struggle between the rural and the urban. I need the city for its humanity and its pace. But I feel best when I’m in the tress. This video is a visual hunt for those reasons. What parts of myself come out in the forest that I identify with so heavily. What parts of myself come out in the city that I want to engage with and exploit. And can I ever find a balance that suits me.”
The release follows a huge 2017 for Yoke Lore, which included the release of his critically acclaimed EP Goodpain, racking up over 10 million streams on Spotify, reaching Hype Machine #1 with the EP’s title track, touring with Aquilo, playing his first showcase at The Great Escape and being invited to Spotify’s New York City studio to record a covers EP finding a fan in none other than Taylor Swift.
