Tessa Violet – Bored (Official Video)

Tessa Violet is a new artist for us to feature, but we have quickly fallen in love. Here, she releases the official video for “Bored,” a song from her recent debut album, Bad Ideas. The video is conceptualized and shot to convey feelings of isolation Tessa was experiencing at the time.

She said the following about the song and video:

“I wrote ‘Bored’ at a time when I was feeling extremely isolated. I was working from home and having trouble sleeping, struggling to build community or find things to do out of the house. Not to be super dark but I dreaded going to sleep because I was dreading facing another day. When my director Jade and I wrote the treatment for the video a few months back, I wanted to make a video that reflected that sense of uneasiness and dread, feeling like there’s no way out. Fast forward to now and it’s pretty wild this release coincides with a worldwide self isolation. Maybe it will comfort you, maybe it will drive you crazier. Either way, we’re in this together.”
