Almost two weeks since the release of After<\/strong>\u2019s latest single \u201cOutbound,\u201d this up-and-coming trip-hop duo is breaking into an industry where listeners crave a new sound.\u00a0<\/p>\n Known for blowing up on TikTok and Instagram for their nostalgic, early 2000s-inspired music, indie duo After are a visionary dream of creating uplifting, electronic pop music that makes listeners feel like they\u2019re walking on sunshine. In \u201cOutbound,\u201d fans feel no different.\u00a0<\/p>\n Consisting of members Graham Epstein (guitarist) and Justine Dorsey (lead vocalist), \u201cOutbound\u201d depicts the simplicity of being there for your loved one when they\u2019re going through a hard time. With the lyrics in the second verse, \u201cI\u2019ll take you to the movies \/ I\u2019ll take you to the park \/ I know when you\u2019re not feeling alright \/ I\u2019d know you in the dark\u201d and the pre-chorus \u201cSix feet underground \/ I\u2019ll reach for you and pull you out,\u201d After sheds light on mental health, endearment, and kindness; extending a hand to those who need it.\u00a0<\/p>\n In contrast to this comforting single is the music video. As the video begins, Justine can be seen singing in the kitchen surrounded by warm lighting with her band partner Graham, who is playing guitar in company. As the music video progresses, the duo can be seen in different parts of the house \u2013 encompassing nature-themed visual projections, trippy visual effects of After in movement with lyrics floating across the screen, and different aesthetic scenes of the pair captured by lens flare.<\/p>\n
