Kornél Kovács’s “Purple Skies” video is a breathtaking dash through Stockholm

A fitting visual off the Swedish producer’s new album Stockholm Marathon.

May 30, 2019

Earlier this year, one of Sweden's most imaginative producers Kornél Kovács released his terrific sophomore LP Stockholm Marathon. A thesis of sorts on life in his "beautiful, boring" hometown, Kovács packs its 38-minute run time with tiny love letters to the city, from a buoyant tribute to a defunct festival on "Ducks" to the reassuring vocal blips of "Club Notes." The album opens with a song called "Purple Skies," and today, Kovács has unveiled its video. The gorgeous Alexandra Dahlström-directed clip is, fittingly, a sprint through Stockholm, and all the colors and textures that define it. Check it out, and stream Stockholm Marathon in full, below.
