IOU 2 (2018)

Directed by close Lido confidant, Arudz Goudsouzian, the visual realm of the EP is highly emblematic of Lido's own coming to terms with a real-life lost love; an exploratory journey reflecting on despondence, confusion, and eventual resolve. The visceral tour through Lido's psyche oscillates between immaculate baths of light and forestry (including pensive pans over the project's British Columbia backdrop) and poignant, lone bedroom scenes. Lido's own vocals, heard homogeneously throughout the five-part project, bolster the narrative's accessibility in regards to the artist's path to self-reconciliation. The story is a timeless one: unflinchingly relatable, while remaining empirically authentic to its creator.
