Trick Mist - 'Abroad in The Yard'
Info: Songwriter, electronic musician and multi instrumentalist Trick Mist (Gavin Murray) returns after his exposed, acapella single 'Two Doors Down' released in Aug 2018.
'Abroad in The Yard' his brand new single (released 19/10/18) is taken from his forthcoming debut album 'Both Ends' released 30/11/18 via Pizza Pizza Records.
For the video, director Graham Patterson creates a bizarre and bewildering composition shot in Murray's current back yard interlaced with VHS footage from his 10th birthday party football match in his back garden in 1998.
In Murray's words;
"Abroad in the yard is a song about cynicism and its merits. On my travels abroad, generally speaking cynicism does not appear to have the same hold on society as it does at home in Ireland. There seems to be a purity and innocence that isn't beaten out of you after childhood. The song nostalgically recounts childhood memories playing (making a potion!) in my nans yard with my brother before it was time to grow up. I have always believed in scrutinising and questioning everything to the letter. But I've seen things the other way now, and in that way, I have learned there is definitely something special. Encapsulating this discovery is a wonderfully weird phrase 'Abroad in the Yard' my nan uses to ironically describe something that's right under your nose."
Trick Mist's new single 'Abroad in The Yard' opens with a Nicolas Jaar worthy sequence, the deep and heavy drone going toe to toe with his baritone vocal. There's some serious slicing and erratic placement of the layers causing a disorientating effect, but submission is given without conditions by the listener as we get subsumed within the skirmish. It's so hypnotic that the first time I listened to the track and it drew to an end I guessed it was just under 3 and a half minutes, missing an additional 2 minutes somewhere. Murray's full-length debut LP is set to be quite the trip.
