<p>If you Google "Kelora" you'll mostly find a lot of reports from niche news sources about a Danish company that keeps trying and failing to slap every e-commerce website in existence with a patent lawsuit. However, Kelora is also <span>a Glasgow-based duo of Benedict Salter and Kitty Hall who are putting a digital spin on folk songwriting in </span><span>a style we're going to go ahead and call 'Nu-Celtic downtempo'</span><span>. </span></p><p><span>We're premiering their video for "BOY" below – a rainy day lullaby that </span><span>brings </span><span>to mind the following images: </span><span><i>The Wicker Man</i> but in an urban setting, </span><span>David Gilmour endlessly riding the night bus, that sort of thing. </span><span>"</span><span>We want </span><span>'BOY' to present a nightmarish vision of the world today," they tell Noisey over email. "In general we want the music to reflect the political and social reality of today: diminished, melancholic, ominous, brooding, fragile, stormy etc."</span></p><p>Filmed on their phones, the video collates footage taken walking or riding the bus around Glasgow at night interspersed with eerie shots of them s<span>tanding on a dark, blustery </span><span>beach in hi </span><span>vis jackets like two fisherman having an existential crisis. It brings a surreal and lingering sense of urgency to a climate where the general reaction to discomfort or disaster is to close one app and open another. "BOY" sticks with you - as well it should.</span></p><p><span></span><span>Watch below.</span></p><div data-keep=""><div style="left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;" class="article__embed article__embed--youtube"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/w1MDhHkO44M?wmode=transparent&rel=0&autohide=1&showinfo=0&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen style="top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;"><span id="selection-marker-1" class="redactor-selection-marker">​</span></iframe></div></div><p>"BOY" will be released through Kelora's own label CALX as a 4 track EP. </p><p>It's physical form will be a limited edition glow in the dark screen print containing a scratch off strip with a download code on the back.
