Music video premiere: Drexler – Kirrikee

Drexler, the alter ego of musician Adrian Leung, has released a new single, accompanied by a short visualiser from filmmaker Ciara Flint.  

Describing his process as a ‘modern cinematic style that is raw, earnest and textured’, this new single ‘Kirrikee’ comes from his forthcoming album Olympia-5, a solo improvised piano record written in response to Leung’s father’s relapse with lymphoma. The calming nature of the pieces, encapsulated by the soothing lilt of ‘Kirrikee’, arose as a way to soothe the anxiety of both Leung himself and his father. ‘I began sending him piano pieces to fill his hospital room with something gentle and familiar,’ Leung told us, ‘to let him know I was thinking of him.’

The accompanying video for ‘Kirrikee’, which echoes the song's pastoral calm, was directed by BAFTA Scotland and RTS nominee Flint. She said: ‘Hearing Drexler’s track “Kirrikee”, I immediately connected with its measured use of stillness. The way it holds emotion without rushing to resolve it – just gently unfolding instead. I wanted to create a visual piece that could mirror that muted, introspective feeling: small moments of the world simply existing, observationally and without disruption, stitched together from footage I’ve gathered over five years from a variety of different spaces and climates. It’s about motion within pause, and how life quietly continues all around us, whether or not we’re there to witness it.’

Olympia-5 is out in early 2026 on Sonderhouse Records.
