OLD MRS. BATES - “Gold” (official music video)

The music video for “Gold" by Old Mrs. Bates is a visually compelling piece with creative direction by Ulrike Schild and cinematography by Michael Preston. The video showcases a dreamy, atmospheric narrative that pairs with the melancholic tone of the music.

The video's abstract nature allows for multiple interpretations, yet its aesthetic—coupled with the delicate pacing—creates a sense of searching for something unattainable, almost like a memory fading away. The characters and landscapes seem suspended in time, reflecting the internal struggle of holding onto something precious but elusive, which might relate to the song's title.
