Animated and directed by Adam Valentine Carr, the video is a multi-layered compilation of footage from Mac’s recent artist residency in Lisbon and loop illustrations animated by Carr.
'Speed' is an eminently listenable slacker-rock ode to the act of compromise. Mac's swerving vocals spill lazily onto an infectious undercurrent of strutting guitar lines (lead from Oh Boland's Niall Murphy) and sunset choruses. A stream of thought that teases out the recognition of difference between two people and the place of compromise in close relationships.
In our review of 'Speed' last month we wrote: "...Ruth Mac produces a wonderful debut single in 'Speed', interestingly I can hear the continental indie-pop vibe permeate the entire track, from instrumentation to her highly pleasant on the ear vocal. It's perfectly chill and the antidote to a chaotic day, week, year, with Ruth Mac coming across as an established act who has been doing this for years."
