Clerk Blues is a song from IRINA, the debut album of METAMAN. This synthetic blues track sets the ground to the atmosphere of all his work. It is the apartment way of life, the daily commuting and the uninspiring everyday job that can suck the essence of life out of ones eyes.
Thoughts and mental images of a common clerk, surrendered to the routine of his life in the big city, meet repetitive synth sequences to create the urban picture of a person that is starting to doubt the fact that he is still alive.
The video is inspired by and deticated to Theodosis K. It was animated and filmed in his downtown Athens apartment during the months of the Covid-19 quarantine.
