BIO

George Turner is an artist from Wellington, New Zealand. It's been 3 years since their first EP 'Some Days' and in June 2019 they released their debut album 'Insect'.

'Saint' is track five on Insect and is perhaps the most intimate look at my mental health and my thoughts in the entire project. I wrote and recorded 'Saint' at 4 am early 2019 when I was struggling with depression and anxieties and the different thoughts that sometimes overwhelm me.

I never re-recorded 'Saint' so the original recording is the one that was released on the album. I wanted to create an album that was true to myself and as authentic as I possibly could be so although 'Saint' may not be perfect, it still creates the exact mood I wanted to create. In an age where anyone with a laptop can create studio level music it is hard to maintain a balance of authenticity in the sound. 'Saint' is one of my favourite tracks on the album as it came together so quickly and therefore was not over thought or over worked.

The music video was filmed on a sunny day back in February on the southern coast of the Wairarapa. I directed the video and worked along side Kahurangi Mill in editing it. I wanted the video to contain as much personal information as the song itself so I filmed in one of my favourite childhood location where I have many fond memories.
