Forward of his upcoming album, ‘Goodbye Dreampop Troubadour’, set for launch on the tenth of October by way of VanGarrett Information, ‘Hollywood Indicators’ from Kramies evokes nostalgia that’s harking back 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 couple of instances – the primary time together with your eyes closed, thoughts emptied of all different ideas other than the music itself, with a purpose to absolutely recognize all of the subtleties and nuances. The second time you may hear together with your eyes open, however in case 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 stylish because the music itself.
Comparisons can be made between Kramies and others who’ve gone earlier than him; I’ve performed 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 like it a lot although! There are most likely 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 way of the music – we may spend it emulating others, or we may select to as an alternative suppose for ourselves.
The lyric video has us think about ourselves hitting the highway in a Kombi van, in some way in a position to drive between London and New York, Large 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 large 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, fairly than placing it off for a wet day – who is aware of what tomorrow brings?
