GARETH THOMAS DROPS NEW SINGLE AND LYRIC VIDEO ‘WORDS THAT DON’T COME BACK’
Kiwi indie-electro-pop artist Gareth Thomas has shared another new single from his upcoming album BITS, due for release September this year. Gareth once again delivers a D.I.Y-styled recording with his moody synthesizer ballad ‘Words That Don’t Come Back’.
“’Words That Don’t Come Back’ is a song about that sinking feeling of regret, when you realise that you’ve said the wrong thing and can’t repair the damage”, says Gareth.
Written with his partner Amelia Murray (Fazerdaze), ‘Words That Don’t Come Back’ is an exquisitely produced track showcasing Gareth’s sensitive artistry. The minimalist approach in Gareth’s production leaves room for pregnant pauses capturing the weight of the moment when you know your words can’t be taken back.
With a rhythmical chord vamp inspired by The Cars song ‘Drive’, a steady U2 bass line, the song hovers around a pulsing kick drum that stutters into a palpitating heartbeat in its final moments.
Gareth created the cinematic dream-like video in collaboration with Sith Douang Kham Chanh of Thievery Studio.
“The video is an abstract contemplative drive down a freeway at night. Words pass like thoughts in the traffic. A disorienting mood with the road reflected in on itself as the journey evolves from the central horizon.”
