His previous release was haunted, and new single, &#8216;Copper Nebulas&#8217;, is equally spectral. A BOI is able to show off his social justice voice, which he also expresses with BLXPLTN, but within this style he is able to do so in a different, more personal, even sinister, way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for &#8216;Copper Nebulas&#8217; sees director Ben Snyder take us on a visual journey, which starts in the woods, and ends with a ritualistic dance around a fire. We see A BOI&#8217;s alerted view on life: witches cast spells, and hypnotise a young woman, and are then seen attacking a man in hiding. Lyrically, the track longs for a missing person who no longer exists in the life of the narrator, but nonetheless, is still troubling his mind, as he sings,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Can&#8217;t break apart\/tell me where we at&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Themes throughoug the clip include lust, sex, manipulation, and control, and we&#8217;re given an insight into the personality of the missing person.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more about A BOI online on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AbsolutelyBereftOfImagination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/bereftofimagination\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/bereftofi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7IyNQZJGkVQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TaSzlin Muerte, also known as A BOI, is one third of Austin trio, BXPLTN.
