MJ Lenderman and Squirrel Flower feature on Horse Jumper of Love's single, "Snow Angel"
Horse Jumper of Love have shared “Snow Angel" as the latest single from their forthcoming fifth studio album, Disaster Trick.
The song, which features contributions from Squirrel Flower’s Ella Williams and MJ Lenderman, comes with an aqueous video directed by Lance Bangs.
“A lot of my songs start with an image and then stream of consciousness takes over from there. I had this idea of a snow angel melting in the sun. It stemmed from the first poem in Actual Air called Snow. Through this piece, David Berman explores the idea of snow metaphorically and abstractly. He relates the outdoors sounding like a room when it’s snowing and snow angels being shot by a farmer, vulnerable and isolated... I wanted to tap into a feeling of being outside in the cold and wanting something,” Dimitri Giannopolous explains.
Of the video, legendary director Lance Bangs says “‘Snow Angel’ felt like it wanted to be expressed visually as a kinetic, enveloping barrage of vision-confusion. We built contraptions, invented new techniques, prepared loud versions of the song at various speeds. After one particular take we realized we had conjured something in a continuous shot that didn’t look like things we had seen before, and that we didn’t want to look away or cut away to anything else.”
Disaster Trick, is set for release on 16 August via Run For Cover Records.
