SYML - Clean Eyes

Seattle artist and producer Brian Fennell, better known as SYML, is excited to share his ingenious video for the latest single, “Clean Eyes”. It’s a sticky, anthemic song that showcases his ability to write and produce an indie-pop song while staying true to his emotive lyric style and heart-wrenching vocal range.

Speaking about the making of the video, Fennell says “We shot this video in one continuous shot, so it took a full day of rehearsal and planning to get it right. It also took a ton of trust and getting to work again with Gavin made this video happen”. He further added, “He was able to capture the grit and darkness of the song, all while making me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera."

Director and collaborator Gavin Michael Booth, who previously made the videos for “Where's My Love”, “The War” and “Body," explains, "The double real-time experience in ‘Clean Eyes’ represents one man’s effort to find a new way of seeing the world. Sometimes to find new perspective, we must loose our vision first."

The song follows from August releases of new music, an early version of “Girl,” and a darker, beat driven track “WDWGILY”.

SYML’s highly anticipated 11-date UK/EU Where Did We Go Tour kicked off earlier this week in the UK and later tonight (8th November) he plays his biggest headline London show to date at Islington Assembly Hall. The tour will continue on to mainland Europe for a number of sold out dates and wraps up in Munich at Milla on 17th November. A full list of dates can be found below.
