Searows has shared the music video for the title track of his recent EP, End Of The World. The EP arrived in November 2023 via Last Recordings On Earth, a new label launched by Matt Maltese in association with Communion Records. Searows has also announced his debut headline shows in London and Paris, taking place in February 2024, following a sold-out US headline tour.

Searows’ Indie Folk style translates well to film, so the short film he has conceptualised for “End Of The World” feels appropriate.

Alec shared some words about the video:

“The concept for this music video came to me on one of the driving days of the UK/Europe tour opening for Gracie Abrams. My partner and I had just rewatched the show ‘The End of the F***ing World,’ and after talking through what my song ‘End Of The World’ meant to me, I realized I wanted the video to explore this specific kind of anxiety that I know I share with many others, where my mind can turn the smallest worry into the literal end of the world. So we decided to create our own little ode to runaways, ‘à la Bones and All’ and ‘The End of the F***ing World.’

In the video there’s a narrative involving two people who find each other at a rest stop in the middle of nowhere Oregon, after experiencing separate and unspecified catastrophic events.

Ultimately the pair finds happiness and solace in each other’s company, which is a theme of the song: When you accept love and find community, or find even one other person who can ground you (and you them), the feelings that could have ended the world become manageable.”
