Watch: Montreal’s Alex Nicol shares a surreal video for “Mirage”

Montreal’s Alex Nicol has shared a surreal new video for “Mirage,” off his 2020 album, All for Nada (Michel Records).

“Mirage is a song about the questioning of reality, and the acceptance of the absurdity of reality,” says Nicol. “I released it on the precipice of the Covid pandemic, just before the fabric of the world began to crumble. Now, nearly twelve months later, we share a music video for Mirage that acts as a homage to the unbelievable (but very real) world we live in.”

Director Big Shot (George Simeo) adds: “This video is a surreal tribute to the absurd world we’re living in: where the fabric of social reality is called into question, and truth is a matter of opinion – just make sure you have enough views! Welcome to Mirage, where every scene is tampered with, just enough, to leave you wondering “Is that really in the shot?”. We also explore the future of live-events in glorified isolation, the feeling of wanderlust with no place to go, and the secret plans of billionaires. Something for everyone!”
