Art d'Ecco - Desires
Emerging from the Gulf Islands off the coast of British Columbia, West Coast rocker Art d'Ecco creates a sound that leaves listeners intrigued and wrapped up in the mystery of it all. His lyrics and sound reflect current obsessions and his performance persona demands attention.
His newest single, Desires, is featured on the album In Standard Definition, one that takes listeners on a journey through the glory days of celebrity to the current obsession that we see now. Specifically, Desires introduces a style that “salutes the aging, out-of-touch performers from soap star to game show host,” according to Art d'Ecco.
Directed by Brandon William Fletcher, the video for focuses its attention on Art d'Ecco in his element; centre stage. A black and white performance produces an old-school vibe, with smoke effects and diamond accents that will transcend through time. With this video Art d'Ecco shows us that he’s bringing back old Hollywood in a glamorous way.
