Music Video Premiere: Sloucho’s ‘Love Is Fear’ Turns the Workplace Into a Battlefield
Words: Rachel Hannon
Watch this chaotic disruption to the everyday mundane.
In Sloucho’s new music video for ‘Love Is Fear’, two suited office workers break from routine, launching into interprative dance before tension builds into a fight. Ultimately, they both quietly return to their stamping system.
Perhaps this mirrors the phases of a relationship. You’re going about your normal life when love disrupts your usual routine. It shifts the dynamic entirely, and although there are struggling moments, the initial fear is the cost of experiencing something real, outside your norm. The visual of the two figures going back to their initial work hints that love may pass briefly before you return to your standard ways of being.
Musically, Sloucho’s sound is softer here. There’s a sense of yearning in both the processed vocals and the melodic synth. It feels heavy with emotion.
The release of this track comes with news that Sloucho has built his own video game on ‘Unreal Engine.’ Here is the exclusive video premiere of the music video, officially out tomorrow.
