EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: Solomon Crook Shares Soul-Stirring Visual for New Single ‘Too Strung’

AAA Backstage is thrilled to exclusively premiere the brand-new music video for Solomon Crook’s hauntingly beautiful single Too Strung — a track that gently seeps into the soul with its tender delivery and emotional depth. We’re proud to be the first to showcase this stunning visual companion, offering fans a first look at a piece that captures the magic of Crook’s introspective songwriting and cinematic vision.

Shot entirely on Super 8 film by Oscar, the video was created during a trip to the breathtaking Lake Tekapo. Bathed in natural light and wrapped in retro textures, the visual oozes nostalgia, friendship, and unfiltered emotion. It’s a lo-fi dreamscape that perfectly mirrors the track’s gentle yet affecting energy, elevating Too Strung into a full-sensory experience.

The clip highlights Solomon Crook’s continued evolution as one of Aotearoa’s most compelling alt-folk voices, with this release marking a new creative chapter that blends sonic warmth with visual authenticity.

“We arrived in Tekapo without a fixed plan – just a Super8 camera in hand and a willingness to follow wherever the moment led. The bach, tucked away in its quiet charm, held a stash of old winter clothes from the ’70s, and we leaned into the nostalgia, making use of what we found. The video was never about perfection, it was about presence. About capturing the kind of moments where connection feels effortless. It reflects where we are right now: a time marked by openness, shared energy, and the quiet kind of joy that lives in the in-between.”– SOLOMON CROOK
