AD 93

Drawing inspiration from themes of longing, loss and the inconsistency of memory, this is fundamentally a love song. At once fragile and powerful, the track slowly crescendos from a delicate breeze to a dramatic tempest of noise.

Accompanying the single is an unnerving and cinematic video directed by Billy Howard Price, which introduces viewers to a cast of incongruous characters, all played by Murphy. From debonair spies to feral figures that gesture towards Isabelle Adjani’s performance in the psychological horror film Possession, the roles in the video mark an exorcism of what Murphy calls “the most feral parts of my being.” For another of the video's characters Murphy’s brief was that they appear simply as 'a mole'. “A mole can be several things. A mole can be a liar or a trick, or a mole can simply be an animal that can’t see.” Murphy enjoys making the viewer uncomfortable with this ambiguity.
