Jun 17, 2015 By Christopher Roberts Briana Marela

Briana Marela is a Pacific Northwest musician. She’s self-released music before, but her debut album for Jagjaguwar, All Around Us, is due out August 21. Now she’s shared the video for “Surrender.” It was directed by experimental filmmaker Christin Turner and is a swirl of color and backlit images.

Turner had this to say about the video in a press release: “The video for ‘Surrender’ interprets the torrent of emotions associated with falling in love as blips and signals reaching through the darkness, sparking a supernova of light, motion, and beauty.”

All Around Us was produced and recorded by Sigur Rós producer Alex Somers in Reykjavik, Iceland and features strings by Sigur Rós collaborators Amiina. Check out the “Surrender” video below, followed by her upcoming tour dates supporting Jenny Hval.
