Slide Unveil "Floating" Music Video
Swedish indie-rock duo Slide have released the eye-catching video for their second single Floating, out now via If Music Could Talk /AWAL. The cool visuals were shot in New York and directed by Peder Bergstrand. Watch it below!




Speaking about the video shoot, Albin from Slide says,
So first of all shooting this video was a fucking freeze man. It might look like New York in the fall type weather but it felt more like Serbian winter. Also the director wanted to end the video with us holding hands. Fortunately it didn't make the cut. All in all it turned out pretty dreamy and psychedelic - just like the song itself.
Going on to speak about the single itself he explains,
We aren't entirely sure what the song is about to be honest. It's a dreamy one, but it's supposed to be, you know? We liked the idea of this hallucinatory element of some of the instrumental being present in the lyrics as well. I think it's about losing yourself in thought, and maybe losing yourself in love too. Ultimately anything can become a ghost and whether it's just in your head or not doesn't really matter. Either way you end up spending a whole lot of time in there...behind the eyes that is.
Floating is taken from the band's upcoming debut EP, Into Happiness, set to arrive this Spring. It's the follow up to their debut single Laugh Some More which was released in November and encapsulates the band's spirit perfectly. Rough around the edges but with plenty of heart, like all their rock heroes before. 

Musically, Slide channel some of their big influences - the inventiveness of Red Hot Chili Peppers, the languishing guitar tones of Nirvana, plus Oasis' penchant for anthemic chorus' and even going further at times to Beck-esque indie-pop. Their sound is devastatingly honest at points but that's all part of the charm.

Slide are: Albin Skeppholm and Simon Werner.
