Maple Glider unveils ‘Friend’ video

With her debut album ‘To Enjoy Is The Only Thing’ arriving tomorrow via Partisan Records, Melbourne/Naarm-based singer/songwriter Maple Glider - aka Tori Zietsch - is sharing a glittering video for latest single ‘Friend’.

“I am quickly blending into all of my fear and doubt,” Tori says. “This song is for an old, good friend. In some ways it feels like one of the most personal songs on the album. I knew I wanted to write it for a long time, before I finally did. It’s a reflection of some of my experience in the music industry from the age of sixteen or so, before Maple Glider existed, and the story of a friendship intertwined inside of each of our shiny music dreams. It was turbulent and unbalanced, and we both became a little undone within it. A lot of hurt and healing came to the surface after years of close collaboration, and ‘Friend’ is the result of that.”

Speaking about her upcoming debut, she describes the record as, “Walking past tinsel covered trees in mid-September, swimming along the calanques in the south of France, car-bonnet frost, darkness at 4pm, lightness until 10pm, a muted feeling, the perpetual grey fog that swallows the Silver Coast, the colour red, this ugly green dress, red wine, red blood, red lips, red is the colour of the cardinal’s robe, Switzerland, my mother’s diaries, a coroner’s report, the sun on my face, the end of love, ‘To enjoy is the only thing. BTCH$.’”
