Talos is the project of Cork-born artist Eoin French whose electronic/ r&b infused debut single, 'Tethered Bones' is punctuated with gloopy, clonky percussion, warning beeps and high pitched, textured vocals that strangely wound on an intensely emotional level. Speaking on ‘Tethered Bones’, Talos states:
“It's a love song, about how a relationship can engulf and transform you: what it can and does take away. What you lose and what you gain."
The track is accompanied by a powerful music video, shot and directed by production company Feel Good Lost which shows themes of hunting and captivity and alternates between murky, earthy saturated shots and black and white visuals of a young woman living out a lonely nightmare, with a seemingly unstable man; a man of whom she is not sure whether she should be comforting or killing.
.Brendan Canty of Feel Good Lost has said of the video:
“From the start, Talos and ourselves had a strong idea about a music-meets-cinema collaboration. I loved the challenge of taking what Eoin wrote and re-interpreting it - the lyrics I latched onto were around this idea of someone being so isolated and alone but at the same time being so smothered and attached to someone. It reminded me of stories I had read about Stockholm syndrome - the unusual relationships and bonds victims develop with their kidnappers.”
