Sequoyah Murray Releases Video for New Single 'Blue Jays'

Ahead of the release of his debut album Before You Begin next  month, Sequoyah Murray has shared the otherworldly video for new single 'Blue Jays'. Written as an attempt to capture an 'abstract sense of beauty', as he puts it, Murray's alluring baritone glides over sub-zero synthesisers, before the track erupts into hypnotic polyrhythms. Directed by close friend and filmmaker Lev Omelchenko and performed by Sequoyah and his younger brother, the video for the track tells the story of a winged figure who appears to a young boy in a dream and then again in reality, awakening the dancer within.
