Brazillian indie-folk king, Marcelo Deiss has just released a live studio version of his song “Hurl.” The title-track off of his new six-track EP, it’s a deep-sea dive into a hypnotic potion of blues, folk, rock and indie – sounds wavy right? Not only is he a talented musician, but he has a burning incentive and mantra for change. Looking at the world we live in now, it could easily be said we’ve lost what it means to be human; with the media, social unjust and divide, as well as the planet’s ongoing destruction. Marcelo’s EP Hurl is a awe-inspiring, bright light, not only for connection but reflection. His music is the mirror we all need to take a look in.
After the release of his EP, Deiss is now ready to share his live studio version of his single “Hurl.” Ever heard someone say live music is better than recorded? Well, Deiss shows us just that in one of the most intimate, raw music videos yet. The video is compiled of hard-hitting monochrome footage of scenes that have contributed to, or show examples of the unjust and disconnection in our world. Some scenes show the beauty of our planet, displaying the contrast of how beautiful our home on Earth really is. It’s moving and clever.
The minimal idea is layered over shots of Deiss playing and singing with heaps of passion and vulnerability. The live version is far more stripped than the recorded song, but who doesn’t love something raw, honest and intimate? The guitar is gritty but soft and creates stunning moments of dynamic swoops, with Deiss’ voice timeless and mighty; his tone matching the mood and storytelling perfectly – everything combined makes the performance easy to watch and listen to.
The truth of his music will resonate with anyone who listens. Not only does the live video enhance the phenomenally divine talent of Deiss, but its familiar closeness and striking visuals take the song to a whole new level. If you’re missing the innermost, deep connection of live music, look no further.
