Tim Baker had a big 2019, releasing his debut solo album, Forever Overheard, in spring on Arts & Crafts, heading out on multiple tours across North America. Today he celebrates it all with a stunning video for “The Eighteen Hole”, shot in Baker's native Newfoundland, directed by Adrian Vieni and Amos Le Blanc. The video outlines the fractures that can happen in relationships, with Vieni describing the ethos as, “an intimate study of human emotion and connection. It acts as a time capsule, capturing the profound impact others have on us throughout our lives, and the shared experiences that connect us. With each moment, we're reminded of the choices we've made, the trajectory we've taken, and people we've met that haave shaped us into who we are today.”
