The duo of Conor McCarthy and Mark Reichardt known together as Cute Couple deliver ethereal visuals for their song "Tired Of Feeling Lonely". The mellow, nostalgia inducing track is a profound outlook on love and isolation with lead vocalist Mark trading solemn verses with singer-songwriter Alice Phoebe Lou who lends her ethereal vocals . Using a slow piano progression that reinforces the theme of the song and minimalist percussion, the listener truly gets to feel the emotions in full effect.
The visuals directed by Conor McCarthy in the duo's hometown of Noordhoe keeps the isolation theme going with a grainy shot of Mark along the beach drenched by a sepia tone-ish aesthetic and layered cinematic transitions. The song is the longest on the album and serves as a closing for their album 'Terminus.'
The music of South African based band Cute Couple straddles pop, rock and electronica. Combining elements of pop song structure, analogue recording and instrumentation and experimental production. Their acclaimed debut album, Terminus was recorded and produced in a disused factory space in the docks in Cape Town where Reichardt was living at the time, culminating in a sound that is exceedingly slow-burning and idiosyncratic.
