En mai, Laura Veirs annonçait son nouvel album
« Cette chanson parle du pouls de la vie — croire que quelque chose de bon continue de se diriger vers nous, même au milieu du chaos et de la souffrance, » explique Veirs, poursuivant :
It’s the most sonically dense track on the album, and building it piece by piece in the studio was fun. I played my niece’s bass and my stepkids’ drums, which gave it this layered, familial energy. My favorite moment is the dissonant duet between my electric guitar and the sax, played by special guest ‘Filthy’ Lucre — I love the feelings of tension and release. We carried that energy into the video, which features my blended family in a home gym setting. The video takes some bizarre turns with cake and silly string, which fits the chaos and playfulness of the music. I liked the idea of making an exercise video — partly as a nod to the elevated pulse of the title, and partly because I’ve gotten into weightlifting in recent years. I can now deadlift 110 pounds, which still surprises me.
Incroyable ! Il y a aussi un hamster dans la vidéo, mais oui, c’est surtout de la musculation et des serpentins colorés. Regardez ci-dessous.
Temple Songs est prévu pour le 14 août via les Raven Marching Band Records, le propre label de Veirs.
