Way back in January, long before we named the thoughtful and adventurous Leeds indie quartet Adult Jazz we premiered their tremendous single “Am Gone,”
the song that made us fall in love with them in the first place. Nine
months later, having basked in the glow of debut full-length Gist Is (Stream), we now present the “Am Gone” video. Directed by Samuel Travis, it stars London artist/musician Suren Seneviratne (AKA My Panda Shall Fly)
as a Christlike figure wandering the wilderness in gallows. As with
Adult Jazz’s music, there are a lot of ideas flying around behind the
striking aesthetic. As Travis explains, “The video plays out some of the
ideas about self-restraint and spirituality that ’Am Gone’ throws up
lyrically, but in a very physical and immediate way. The central
character changes from a figure to be pitied for his unfortunate
circumstances to an almost menacing presence who is very much in control
of their situation.” Intriguing!
