Trivial Shields returns with “Incomplete”, an indie pop gem pulsating with restless energy. Produced by Christian Carpenter, the track captures the gnawing dissatisfaction of modern life. « Dedicated to the semblance of control / Never sated by emaciated roles / In a panic running breathless down the street / Life Is frantic and it’s always leaving me, incomplete », he sings, his voice weaving through a hypnotic soundscape. The music video, conceived, produced & directed by Sarah K. Pedinotti, amplifies this unease, plunging viewers into a dimly lit room thick with smoke, where masked figures drift like lost echoes. A haunting visual metaphor for the song’s emotional depth. One thing is certain, Slash Music has just spotlighted an artist who refuses to be overlooked.
