Tom Oliver continues his richly creative series of films for singer-songwriter Mr Bruce with a powerful, emotionally captivating promo exploring the rituals around death. 

In the song Go Slow, Mr (Ian) Bruce's delicate vocal reimagines the funeral of Tim Cole, aka Chucks - his bandmate in The Correspondents, who died suddenly in 2020 - as a pyre carried to the shoreline and pushed out to sea, set against a shimmering dubstep backdrop.

Tom Oliver's film brings this imagined ritual to life. Ian Bruce carries a portrait of two puffins, framed by funeral flowers, from his London home through city streets, trains and open countryside towards a windswept beach. 

Along the way, the story of the birds unfolds through hand-painted frame-by-frame animation created by Ian Bruce himself. As he reaches the coast at dusk, the paintings and flowers become a ceremonial pyre, set alight in a final act of mourning, remembrance and release.

It's a stunning piece of work that perfectly encapsulates the themes of the track. The film is also the fifth chapter of the visual album directed by Oliver that accompanies Mr Bruce's new album OK. It blends live action, performance and animation through the five films, a brilliant achievement that has been recognised with its selection for this year's Aesthetica Film Festival in November.
