Watch Grayson Gilmour's Animated Video For New Single 'Here We Are'

Grayson Gilmour energises our muggy, wet and grey Tuesday morning (around UTR's Tāmaki Makaurau office) with the vibrant burst of sonic colour that is his new single 'Here We Are'. The latest tune revealed from the Te Whanganui-a-Tara singer / multi-instrumentalist's forthcoming album Holding Patterns channels the turbulent, rollercoaster ride of emotions that is parenthood into the a succinct, life-affirming statement — launched with psychedelic rotoscope-style figures melting across the screen, directed by Jesse Taylor Smith and made with support from NZ On Air. Hit play on 'Here We Are', order the strictly limited coloured vinyl edition of Holding Patterns HERE before it releases this Friday via Flying Nun Records, and go catch Gilmour and friends nationwide this summer, brought to you by 100% Good...

“This is going to sound sappy and dramatic but I really felt 'connected to humanity' in the early stages of parenthood, watching a tiny life evolve each day. But it wasn’t always a joy — the sleep deprived psychosis hit me hard and I definitely experienced bouts of depression. I wrote this song in response to these lows — the moments when you don’t know yourself — to ultimately celebrate life."
