South London songwriter and producer Alice Barlow returns with ‘Behind,’ a hypnotic indie track that quietly captures the disorientating feeling of trying to outrun your own thoughts. Exploring the impulse to escape difficult emotions, the single wraps its introspective themes in a hazy, immersive soundscape that feels both calming and quietly unsettling.

Woozy, swirling guitars immediately establish the song’s dreamlike atmosphere, while Alice’s understated, hypnotic vocal glides effortlessly through the arrangement, drawing the listener further into its emotional haze. Rather than building towards a dramatic climax, ‘Behind’ remains deliberately restrained, allowing its meditative rhythm and subtle textures to mirror the sensation of a mind caught in an endless spiral.

The accompanying video perfectly reinforces that feeling, with grainy, spinning shots creating a dizzying sense of emotional disorientation. Like the song itself, it isn’t about arriving somewhere new, but about recognising that wherever you go, your thoughts inevitably follow. Thoughtful, immersive and quietly affecting, ‘Behind’ lingers long after its final note.
