Video by Andrew Hutto, the real star of this show, who took a shoestring budget and created a gorgeous David Lynch-ian visualizer sequence for the entire EP, four individual videos shot to become a cohesive video when played back to back. The video for “Shadow” I’ve shared via the link above, but I’ve watched the 11 mins complete project every morning since Drew sent the final edit and can’t wait to share it with you.

Towards the end of May, I posted up at Sempervirens Studios in High Falls NY, run by my friends Bram Kincheloe and Kim Anderson, hoping a change of scenery would spring free some neat ideas. Sempervirens’ got every bizarro synth, thing to bash, and maker of ear candy you could ask for. Nestled against the Catskills, it’s a stunning place to make music.

Each morning, I’d head from the guest house to the studio, make blip-bloop noises all day, then meander through the front garden to Bram and Kim’s place where we’d cook dinner, drink cider, and listen to records until the wee hours. They have a beautiful son named Jasper, and it was inspiring being welcomed into their family.

“Shadow” is ostensibly about family, how something greater than ourselves can recalibrate and provide meaning. “I’ll try because of you” could be a parent talking to their child, or someone talking to their version of God, or the Universe. As I’m writing this, that line feels more like a reiteration of a promise to my younger self, that I’ll keep going after what’s meant and continues to mean so much, doing something artistic with this life.

So here it is, the first single off the High Falls EP. I hope you like it. The second single’s soon on its way.
