Premiere: Better Person – “Sentiment” Video
It’s Only You EP Out Now On Mansions and Millions
Jul 06, 2016
Thus far, Adam Byczkowski's Better Person project has been frequently compared to the output of late avant-pop composer Arthur Russell. That likeness has perhaps been overstated a bit--the way Byczkowski synergizes ‘80s R&B silkiness with crestfallen goth mistiness is largely his own. However, "Sentiment" is the expression of a soul that, like Russell's, is gentle, but far from fragile. Here, Byczkowski is taking a calm, clear look at the roots and byproducts of his own melancholy while feeling his way through a stark sonic environment that makes an impressionistic blur of genres.
Directed by Mortiz Freudenberg and shot in Berlin, the accompanying clip is minimal in a way that's a natural fit for the track. Check out our premiere below.
