New music to listen to this week: Will Morgan
Now Hear This
23-year-old singer songwriter Will Morgan moved from Sydney to London and has been racking up a number of new fans thanks to his EP Telopea.
We're premiering the video for his immersive track 'Float', which was put together by his friend Gabriel Rolfe McCallum - a writer and director based in Sydney.
Gabriel says of the video: "The harbour was a character in the script, for the rock, the vegetation, the water to be like an indifferent witness. For me that's what 'Float' was, an experience of detachment - eerie, potentially menacing, but ultimately calm.
"When we got down to Elizabeth Bay to shoot and the clouds rolled in there wasn't much choice but to go with a kind of mute, placid look. It was a freak blessing. As if the British weather had visited us [in Sydney] just for the video."

Q&A with Will Morgan
What are you listening to at the moment?
Anything and everything by Tim Buckley - feel like my attention span is shrinking and shrinking but the time I set aside for him is constant.
What are your plans for 2017?
I'm going to take a greater interest in strangers.
What was the first gig you ever played?
I used to busk - i believe one Tuesday was particularly fruitful so I guess that.
Telopea, the new EP by Will Morgan, is out now
