The song was written in LA, and recorded in Nashville, Glasgow, and the Scottish countryside, while the music video was shot in Berlin, Germany. With stark scenery and muted colours, following young people as they go about their daily lives, the clip will remind viewers of the likes of films such as &#8216;Run Lola Run&#8217;, and &#8216;Christiane F&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ethan Gold&#8217;s talent is to cement himself at the edge of life, where he makes astute observations about counterculture, and indeed, their own countercultures, casting a spotlight on those parts that would otherwise be lost or unnoticed. His latest project, the second instalment in his &#8216;Earth City&#8217; trilogy, &#8216;Earth City 2: Nightfolk&#8217;, is set for release in September, and takes place throughout just one evening, and was inspired by his own life when he spent a year in Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gold cites &#8216;Feline&#8217;, released in 1982 by The Stranglers, as one of his main inspirations, and he certainly manages to capture some of that energy in &#8216;The Inhibitionists&#8217;, as well as the atmosphere of a European cafe, where young people come alive, fuelled by caffeine and the pure joy of a warm summer night. At the same time, he shines a light on those who prefer to stay on the periphery, and reveals that it&#8217;s possible to be different without seeming aloof &#8211; the inhibitionists are the opposite of exhibitionists, but they are just as important to be recognised. As he sings, \u201cThe world is loud with exhibitionists who don\u2019t understand our way of making magic, and we don\u2019t care\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music video for &#8216;The Inhibitionists&#8217; is Gold&#8217;s love letter to Berlin&#8217;s urban culture, where he lived for a year amongst the singer-songwriters who filled the night clubs and cafes with their lust for life, bright smiles, and heartfelt music. We see a pair of introverted friends, nervously shed their inhibitions, as they take what&#8217;s theirs and travel around the concrete mountains and valleys, totally without fear or conspicuousness. It&#8217;s inspirational and compelling, and feels like something out of a film become real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the music video for &#8216;The Inhibitionists&#8217; below, and find out more about Ethan Gold and his music online on his official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ethangold.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/ethangold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ethangold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EthanGold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/ethangold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_51863\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1hQWkihfsws?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Ethan Gold - The Inhibitionists (official music video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/1hQWkihfsws\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With his boundless energy and creativity, Ethan Gold returns with his latest single, The Inhibitionists&#8217;, part of his &#8216;Earth City&#8217; trilogy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":91991,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"With his boundless energy and creativity, Ethan Gold returns with his latest single, The Inhibitionists', part of his 'Earth City' trilogy.","jetpack_seo_html_title":"Ethan Gold Brings An Instant Pop Classic With 'The Inhibitionists' Ahead Of Latest Instalment Of His 'Earth City' Trilogy","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"With his boundless energy and creativity, Ethan Gold returns with his latest single, The Inhibitionists', part of his 'Earth City' trilogy.","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,9,21453,21445,21446,21449,640],"tags":[25579,11720,77,370,1945,116,10677,33075,81,22992],"class_list":["post-91986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","category-video-reviews","category-videos","tag-ethan-gold","tag-lisa-hafey","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-new-video","tag-review","tag-single-review","tag-the-inhibitionists","tag-video","tag-video-review"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-nVE","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":70456,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2021\/07\/ethan-gold-visits-a-bright-lonely-city-with-release-of-new-track\/","url_meta":{"origin":91986,"position":0},"title":"Ethan Gold Visits A &#8216;Bright &#038; Lonely City&#8217; With Release Of New Track","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"16\/07\/2021","format":false,"excerpt":"In any city skyline anywhere around the world, you'll see the same thing.
