This week sees the release of Gill Landry’s new single, ‘I Love You Too’, taken from his upcoming album ‘Skeleton At The Banquet’, set for release in January 2020.
Landry was originally from Louisiana and started out as a busker on the streets of New Orleans before becoming a contributing member of the band Old Crow Medicine Show with whom he recorded 4 albums and toured from 2004 to 2014. He’s released 4 solo albums to critical acclaim, featuring such artists as Laura Marling, Brandi Carlile, Klara Söderberg (First Aid Kit), The Felice Brothers and Karen Elson among many others. Landry has toured extensively internationally in his own right, and has also supported Mumford & Sons, Brandi Carlile, Ben Harper, Laura Marling, Ben Howard and Bruce Hornsby.
The team behind the accompanying video which includes Director Ross Stirling and Producer Alessia Lendrum have put together some stunning visuals that have an irresistible noirish vibe, despite the smiles of the female lead played by Milli Proust, it leaves you with that unsettling feeling.
Landry shared the following on the song and video ‘I Love You Too’:
“I Love You Too” is about a man who’s not in touch with himself. The video was shot on one (& perhaps the only) sunny day in West Sussex this fall. It came from the mind and work of my talented and masterful friend Ross Sterling and his wonder crew, and it features my friend Milli Proust along with her world of flowers.
Skeleton At The Banquet is Gill Landry’s fifth solo studio album and the follow-up to 2017’s Love Rides A Dark Horse (Loose/ATO). “This album is a series of reflections and thoughts on the collective hallucination that is America,” he tells us. “With a love song or two thrown in for good measure. I wrote it from within the refuge of a small flat, in a small village in western France where I spent last summer. I found it to be a good place for seeing the forest through the trees, so to speak.”
The album was recorded and produced in Los Angeles by Gill and Seth Ford-Young (Tom Waits, Edward Sharpe). It features Landry on vocals, guitars, pedal steel, keys & harmonica, Seth Ford-Young on bass, Josh Collazo on drums, Stewart Cole on trumpet and Odessa Jorgensen on violin.
I Love You Too is released this Friday, 22 November 2019.
Skeleton At The Banquet will be released 24 January 2020 via Loose on LP, CD and digitally.
