De songs Only Friend van Cup Sport was al enkele weken te zien en luisteren als een audio-file. Als videoprimeur hebben we hier de clip bij de song. Een heerlijke lome song die langzaam onder je huid kruipt. Only Friend komt van het debuut album This Is Our Vice die op 4 maart 2016 zal verschijnen.
Zanger Tim Nelson over de song: “I was feeling pretty anxious when I was writing Only Friend. There were a few factors with getting everything together for the album which were leading to delays and causing alot of feelings of insecurity. The lack of control over the situation made me feel really anxious and I felt nauseous for weeks at a time. I can’t remember exactly when things shifted but talking to the rest of the band and other friends who were living through the same sort of thing was really important. Perspective is everything.
The Only Friend video highlights the isolating feeling that anxiety can cause and the way it can pull you out of reality. It was filmed by and with some of my best friends in Sam’s and my house, which is cool ’cause it’s also where I wrote and recorded a lot of the album including Only Friend. I feel really good about this clip and the way it captures the essence of the song.
It’s important to talk about issues of anxiety and depression. We wanted the clip to be a visual representation of where I was at when I wrote the song, what I experienced was temporary but people struggle with these feelings on a daily basis so why not be up front about it.”
