Convalescent: the new single from Useless Beauty
by Convalescent is the first official video from Useless Beauty’s debut full-length album, Sisters. Follow the footsteps of a quirky girl who is willingly trapped inside her own world, but also yearning to experience the outside. The question is: will that really make her happy? (Fun fact: all footage was filmed inside the lead-singer’s childhood home in Scranton, PA).

Silence. In this world of near constant noise and motion, it really has become a sadly neglected and undervalued commodity. Yet, as I sit, looking down on a bustling metropolis of speeding cars, people, and minds, I can’t help but wonder what impact this sensory overload will have on not just our generation, but on all those to follow.
