Greta O’Leary Releases New Single and Entirely Self-Produced Video for ‘So Lucky,’ from her album RIVER DARK

Greta O’Leary releases the latest piece of visuals from her breakthrough new album, River Dark this Thursday 20th November. So Lucky is a slow burn, blues-injected confession. Death and spiritual dread are brought to life in the arid landscapes of Greta’s River Dark universe.

The new music video - directed, shot and edited entirely by Greta herself - features a ghost-like being, inhabiting the high-alpine desert areas of Te Ika-A-Māui. Summoning truth from beyond the red curtain, this is a confrontation with death and a dark grasping at an unholy rebirth, or something like that.

The release of So Lucky follows the 9-date tour of River Dark completed this Spring. River Dark and So Lucky were recorded with Jol Mulholland, Alistair Deverick, Cass Basil and Callum Passels at The Lab, Tāmaki Makaurau, River Dark was released this May.

RIVER DARK is a project created against the odds, that sees Tāmaki Makaurau based songwriter Greta O’Leary invite listeners into the soft, dark and idiosyncratic corners of her inner world. Through soaring instrumentation, astute (sometimes absurd) lyrics of self-reflection, and her clear and unmistakable tone, Greta O’Leary’s debut body of work is a remarkable sonic collection of confession, truth and poetry.

“My first record, a collection of personal, ridiculous and truth telling songs. It took a long time to get here. I was a child shy and unclear, completely confused, absolutely not onboard with future, with goals or activity. I was in the field below the house, I was at the pond with the dog, I played make believe longer than most. I was taught to be quiet”

Casting rich spells of self-expression, finding power in softness, and inviting listeners deeper into her ethereal world, Greta O’Leary is set to turn heads across Aotearoa with her astonishing debut album RIVER DARK - out now on all streaming platforms and vinyl!
