Messenger Posts "Dear Departure" Music Video

Today, Messenger (UK) premieres a psychedelic new video for "Dear Departure," which can be seen below, courtesy of The Independent.

The track hails from the band's debut album, "Illusory Blues," recently released by Svart Records. The video for "Dear Departure" precedes Messenger's upcoming UK/European tour with Katatonia. The band comments on the video:

"Musically, the song tries to convey a natural event of great magnitude, like an earthquake or a storm - a display of the sheer force of nature at its most merciless. It's also a reminder to the self to strive for inner calm after a storm, figuratively speaking. The video uses masking and compositing techniques to show the secret worlds that exist inside our thoughts and dreams - a utopia, of sorts, and a glimpse into the realms that exist before birth, during life, and after death.”
