LA Priest announced a new EP “La Fusion” coming May 3rd on Domino records and released a new single called “City Warm Heart” that captures the yearning for the city bustle when you’re away in nature. “La Fusion” was written towards the end of Sam Eastgate’s stay in the jungle of Costa Rica, where he also created the recent album “Fasa Luna”. Directed by Joseph Bird Jr., the videoclip for the new single is featuring the artist in an evergreen lush forest, a mise-en-scène of what is “a bit of my recording set up and the way I record a song,” he explained. “This video is really exactly what I did while making this song, recreated as well as I could, so it’s more of an honest video than my usual sort of thing.”
We can dive into another lush and verdant world in Jessica Pratt‘s new video for the new single “World On a String”, directed by Kate Bollinger and edited by Jessica herself. Vintage effects such as double exposure and fish eye camera, create a dreamy setting in Elysian Park, where Jessica Pratt is joined by a group of flower people for a procession and a picnic. This perfectly complements the escapist, timeless esthetics and spirit of her cosmic retro folk.
On a closer look, the illustrious cast turns out to be a who is who of the LA music scene featuring Pedrum Siadatian, Josh Da Cosa, Jackson MacIntosh, Allison Goldfarb and more. Jessica Pratt’s lyrics, “I want to be the sunlight of the century / I want to be a vestige of our senses free“, resonate with the ethereal ambiance of the video.
