Swedish artist Boy Destroy has revealed a video for new single As Time Goes By, out now via Loyalty Obsession. Boy Destroy blends elements of emo and trap with alt-pop, inspired by artists My Chemical Romance, Jeff Buckley and Joji.
“On the surface, this song is about the day after a destructive night, with someone I liked, in a bed somewhere,” he explains. “A film from the thirties. And tender lies in the dark. As Time Goes By is a temporary break from a life on the run. Away from upbringing, rules, religion and drugs. To cease movement and resign to the perfection of the present moment – give of oneself and get back. To look into someone’s eyes when the car drives off the road but has not yet cracked the water surface. Total weightlessness. A safe embrace.”
