Returning with a shortened alias and a focused new artistic direction, 22 year old creative Gretel is only just getting started. It feels like she’s been a name on fans of forward-thinking music for a while, with two stellar projects already blessing her discography, but now there is added nuance visually and sonically, with the singer-songwriter evidently growing as a lyricist and performer as she has begun to plant her name deep in the nucleus of UK alternative music.
“Far Out” sees Gretel back with a bang. The dichotomy of dark and light – an often used theme of Gretel’s music – can be seen swirling through the music video, with Gretel drowsed in black, strikingly disparate to the clean white emptiness behind her. The song itself is a gorgeous juxtaposition of conflicting sounds and styles, with the artist once again enlists past collaborator and production wizard Mura Masa to share the sonic load, stamping his signature idiosyncrasy on the cut.
