Forward of his upcoming album, ‘Goodbye Dreampop Troubadour’, set for launch on the tenth of October by VanGarrett Data, ‘Hollywood Indicators’ from Kramies evokes nostalgia that’s paying homage to The Beatles (suppose ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’), whereas sustaining a timeless really feel that’s clearly Kramies’ very personal.
You’re going to need to hearken to this a number of instances – the primary time along with your eyes closed, thoughts emptied of all different ideas aside from the music itself, as a way to absolutely respect all of the subtleties and nuances. The second time you may pay attention along with your eyes open, however in the event you really feel your self drifting off, permit it. The third time, watch the accompanying stop-motion animation lyric video, that’s simply as trippy and elegant because the music itself.
Comparisons will probably be made between Kramies and others who’ve gone earlier than him; I’ve finished it already in my opening paragraph. However I don’t suppose that is mere co-incidence, else why would Kramies match the road, “Scoring our medication on the subway in New York” the place the music is at its most ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’? I adore it a lot although! There are in all probability much more comparisons to be made, however proper now, that’s the one which leaps out at me.
This concept of time, and having a restricted quantity of it, and deciding learn how to use it most properly, is all by the music – we might spend it emulating others, or we might select to as an alternative suppose for ourselves.
The lyric video has us think about ourselves hitting the highway in a Kombi van, someway in a position to drive between London and New York, Huge Sur and Hollywood, the latter of which he bemoans the “silly Hollywood indicators!”. It’s unclear whether or not or not he’s speaking about highway indicators or the massive white letters within the Hills, however hey, why not each? Both may very well be a metaphor for losing time, whether or not or not it’s on the freeway or in chasing fame. Let’s not waste time, we must always select to have our time now, quite than placing it off for a wet day – who is aware of what tomorrow brings?
