Pretty Grim

That’s an all-too perfect title to describe 2020... (╥_╥)

With a fuzzy sense of urgency, Ruby Fields’ new video for ‘Pretty Grim’ paints a stark and uniquely Aussie portrait of crippling depression as the singer/guitarist jams out with her ‘bridal party.’ Great idea tossing a guitar instead of the bouquet, even if it doesn’t quite work like you’d expect... (￣□￣)

Targeting ‘mental health and not yet having found a balance with drinking and so on,’ Fields explains about the track (via Tone Deaf):

‘From memory I was a bit lost at the time and hadn’t felt anything in awhile. When you’re fresh out of high school and get shoved in front of the country with a megaphone you definitely make some cringe worthy mistakes,” said the singer-songwriter.

‘Not too long after I booked my trip to Nepal so I could get off my ass and stop complaining. I threw myself in the deep end and saw some of the most heartbreaking and beautiful things. Definitely shoved me right back into my privilege sized pigeonhole and I came back really determined to write new music.’
