Låpsley unveils video for ‘Falling Short’
Striking, arm-flailing clip previews the new ‘Understudy’ EP.
Part of DIY’s Class of 2015, Lapsley has unveiled a fantastic new video for her ‘Falling Short’ track.
With the track previewing her ‘Understudy’ EP, an accompanying video sees Holly Fletcher carrying the weight of a topless, strung-out male. His arm raises with hers, and she looks to be in a position of complete control - a clever match to the sense of exactitude that runs right through her EP, ‘Falling Short’ especially.
‘Understudy’ is out 5th January via XL Recordings.
For the DIY verdict on Låpsley’s debut EP, read the new Dec 2014 / Jan 2015 issue of DIY. Inside you’ll also find the Class of 2015 issue with the now London-based musician.
EP tracklist:
1. Falling Short
2. Brownlow
