Sour Blood – Mysterious Creature
Mysterious Stirrings Through the Cityscape
Alt rock artist Sour Blood, the creative alter ego of Kevin Gleeson, unveils a visual masterpiece with the video release of “Mysterious Creature.” Directed by Gareth Byrne, the video navigates the dream-like reveries of Dublin’s streets, captured through the mesmerizing lens of Kodak film. This third single from the album Suas combines art rock’s atmospheric depth with electronic pop’s introspective beats, crafting an audible and visual exploration of life’s evasive enigmas.
The narrative unfolds with a man caught between ethereal wonder and stark choice, a juxtaposition mirrored in the hauntingly melodic track. As he wanders amidst the throng of city life, the question hovers: Sweet or Sour? Sour Blood’s unique blend of lo-fi dream pop and leftfield influences finds poignant embodiment in this restless urban saga.
“Mysterious Creature” stands as a testament to Gleeson’s artful synthesis of sound and vision. With this release, he not only crafts music but molds an experiential world of dreams and decisions, pushing the boundaries of alt-rock expansiveness.
