Jenny O. has shared the official music video for “What About That Day”, the third single from her forthcoming album ‘New Truth’, out June 19th from Mama Bird Recording Co. The video is a work of art but then having seen previous work of Sam Gezari that comes as no surprise. Gezari is an equally adept film photographer as he is a filmmaker and cinematographer.
Gezari has spent considerable time working with 35mm, medium and large format film cameras and this analogue process informs much of his work as can be seen in the music video for ‘What About That Day’ which was shot on Kodak Super 8. The warm vintage tones match this song perfectly. Its ethereal blue-green hues turn a simple day trip to Malibu into a melancholic and cathartic daydream. Jenny describes the song as capturing “an obviously bad partnership that has been riding on the fumes of one or two magical days, tops. The romance is done, but that one day kept us grasping at something that could have been and wasn’t.”
Jenny on her forthcoming album New Truth:
Hey,
Here’s my new album, it’s called ‘New Truth’.
New Truth is coming to terms with my deaf ear. It’s any new accepted reality. It’s the hilarious way I wore my hair for a week before cutting it away from my face.
The songs are as personal as ever–continued misadventures of an introvert in Hollywood. I think it’s relatable – heartache and epiphany – I hope people like it?
I’m singing lower sometimes, I always assumed I’d move back into my lower register, I finally have. Hard to get power that way, but I don’t sound like a little kid. I’ll have to practice singing them a lot, and it will be trickier to pull off live.
I recorded this album with Kevin Ratterman, who is so fast, so patient, willing to try anything, and so much fun. It was important to me to have a good time while making it, and we did.
I played all the guitars on this record. I wanted to channel the freedom of the Home and Work EPs, but recorded way better. I took solos! I played bass, except Rachel Goodrich did the funkier two songs because her time is better than mine. The past couple albums were tracked live to tape with a rhythm section, so someone would quickly learn something great and close to my demo but not exactly. I wanted to play bass this time.
Kevin set up his nice microphone at my place so I could do all my vocals alone while he was making another record. It’s the best way–much faster and more free to experiment by myself. Building harmonies on a whole album with an engineer can get frustrating, communicating between each take.
Ok I got to go take this little black dog on a walk.
See you soon,
Jenny O.
