When creating the accompanying video for latest single ‘Salvation’, Perth band COTERIE worked with director Maddy King to bring together separate snapshots of people pushed to their breaking point, ultimately creating a poignant backdrop to the slow-burning single.
From Queenstown and Glenorchy in New Zealand, to the Pinnacles Desert and Fremantle Prison in the band’s home state of Western Australia, to Sydney, the video for ‘Salvation’ was beautifully shot across cinematic, predominantly outdoors locations.
“I wanted to show that everyone encounters dark times in their life. Hardship, loneliness and sorrow will forever be an inescapable feature of the human condition,” explains King, known for her narrative-driven stories.
“The video had to touch on universally relatable emotions, we’re all equal and sometimes we all need saving.”
The band’s Tyler Fisher echoes King’s sentiments, commenting, “We wanted to try and show in the song and in the video that we are all subject to low points at times in our life. The video we hope creates a space for people to know, it’s ok to need saving sometimes.”
COTERIE are currently touring behind ‘Salvation’ with a series of residencies – they’ll wrap up one at Perth’s El Grotto on Wednesday, 26th February before spending much of April and May darting back and forth between Sydney and Melbourne.
