In honour of the extended re-release of his debut album, Ark, Halls has released a typically sombre new video for album track ‘Reverie’.
For all of the crystalline beauty of the album’s depressive insularity, upbeat it ain’t. So true to form, the new video is as doomy and gloomy (read: black) as you might expect. It only adds to the haunting mystery of the track, a fragile hymnal summing up the wrought, bleak passion of the album (read the Best Fit review here). The extended version of the album, released by No Pain in Pop, comes backed by both remixes, and live versions of tracks, backed by a full choir and strings for a session recorded in St Luke’s Church.
