Adrianne Lenker of Big Thief gifted us with undoubtedly one of the best, and most personally resonant albums of the year in abysskiss. Today she shared the video for “symbol”. Here’s a bit about from the press release:
Directed by Adam Gundersheimer and V Haddad, it features Adrianne exploring Coney Island, meeting and connecting with different people she encounters. “The sincerity and intimacy of symbol inspired us to take a documentary approach to the music video,” say the directors. “The project is a sort of tribute and love letter to New York City, Coney Island, and all of the people who make those places so special. We spent a couple of days walking the boardwalk and taking video portraits of people we met. We documented whatever they felt like sharing. It was such a warm experience – each person was so giving.”
If you haven’t listened to abysskiss yet, do yourself a kindness, find a quiet place, and do.
