Sydney-based artist Nathan Cavaleri has just unveiled the accompanying music video for his striking new single ’29 Gold Stars’ – directed by Armand de Saint-Salvy and shot by Tom Black in Sydney’s suburb of Bondi Beach.
Filmed in one continuous shot, the sultry clip ties into the songs themes of ‘Guilty Pleasures’ with Nathan being involved in a love triangle between his wife and two other love interests. The risqué story takes a series of daring twists and turns; constantly keeping the viewer on the edge of their seat.
Director Armand de Saint-Salvy describes the process behind the production:
“As the story happens over a number of weeks, we had to create the illusion of passing time by making changes to the set, our lighting and the character’s wardrobe while actually filming. This not only required a very complex choreography of our actors and the camera, but a number of crew that had to work around them. After more than ten hours of takes, we nailed it. The final cut was take 52 and captured after 2am”.
Since release, the track has been strongly supported by the likes of triple j, triple j Unearthed, Pilerats, Music Feeds, Savage Thrills, Spotify and community radio.
To celebrate the release of ’29 Gold Stars’ and his forthcoming debut EP ‘Demons’ (due Friday May 31), Nathan will traverse the East Coast with performances throughout May and June.
