19 year old Wellingtonian musician, Lontalius (Eddie Johnston) has had his new video Glow debuted by British music website Dazed Magazine, alongside an interview where he discusses internet friendships, emotional intelligence and conveying his sexuality in his songs. The technicolor clip was shot in his New Zealand and features the shoreline and lush terrain as background to a romantic triangle. Directed by Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou (Ryan Hemsworth, Lunice), who also directed the video for previous video All I Wanna Say, the video uses a saturated palette to paint a picture of three conflicted twenty-somethings and their longing.

Not the only international media to be paying attention, New York’s online music website, The FADER recently produced a video feature trailing Eddie on his first trip to the United States. Set to new track Yr Heart Is Beating, the footage reflects Lontalius’ teenage-like innocence and eagerness for what is next.

In the short time that he has been making music, Lontalius has racked up hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube and Soundcloud for his bedroom-pop remixes and songs; made fans out of fellow New Zealand teens Lorde and Troye Sivan; collaborated with Ty Dolla $ign and Ryan Hemsworth (including releasing several tracks on Hemsworth’s Secret Songs); and garnered even more international attention with early press praise from NYLON, Stereogum, SPIN and more.
