WATCH: Alev Lenz – ‘Eggshell’

Having released her second album earlier this year, and having composed a track for an episode of Charlie Brooker’s ‘Black Mirror’ series, Alev Lenz creates dark, majestic creations that’ll leave you spellbound without a doubt.

Taken from the album, ‘Eggshell’ glides with somewhat unsettling glitchy beats alongside Lenz’s sweeping, powerful vocals. Accompanied by a moving video, depicting living with OCD, the track is filled with a haunting, dystopian beauty.

Of the video, director Daniel Fletcher says:
“For me, Eggshell is a song about being trapped in a circumstance or mind set that while tiresome and difficult, is also part of one’s life. It was with this in mind that I came up with the premise of the story. I wanted to make a film which showed OCD in two separate lights. One would be to show how debilitating and difficult it is to live with OCD. The other would be to highlight one’s ability to take it in stride and integrate it into daily life.”
