“The song is about my first 6 months being single after a 3-year relationship,” shares Ruben Zarate, frontman and founder of Dante Elephante. “The verses are positive about going out and having a good time. Then, when I was writing the song, my ex called me while I was sitting on the piano just to “talk.” It was a pretty average talk. She rambles about how she’s been since the break up and I gave short responses on how I’ve been. We hang up, I sit at the piano again, and then the first thing that came out of my mouth was “call me on the phone / cause you know what it does / it says, I have to be someone I’m not”.”

Mimicking Birds today shared a new video for the NPR Music Heavy Rotation track “Sunlight Daze” from their acclaimed new LP, Layers of Us, out now on Glacial Pace Recordings. The twisted and darkly humorous video sees a stranded merman captured by an onlooker and exploited for social media likes, highlighting the hypocrisy and unwillingness from those in places of power to enact positive change upon human-caused issues — a recurring theme on Layers of Us. Director Jeremy Cloe — an award-winning filmmaker whose credits include videos for On An On and others — says, “The idea of a Sunlight Daze is what struck me the first time I listened to the song. I imagined someone stranded in the desert, not understanding how they got to that point. There’s something dreamy and surreal about the song that I wanted you to feel in the video. This was a highly collaborative effort with the band, the lead Luke Jones and my producer Mike Langer. We were inspired by environmental and social themes from the record and knew with Luke Jones starring we could push it in that direction while still having fun with an absurd, but sincere idea.”

Not quite pastoral, but a natural feel which bends to the inevitable modern surroundings.
AU/RA RETURNS WITH THE RELEASE OF NEW TRACK “PANIC ROOM”
Au/Ra reflects: “‘Panic Room’ is probably the darkest song I’ve written. It’s about anxiety – something I feel like not a lot of songs talk about, although so many people feel it every day. The song, to its very core, is about battling self-doubt and fear, and how sometimes you can be your own biggest enemy. The phrase ‘panic room’ ties into the song by highlighting that when fear consumes you, you are automatically transplanted into a panicked head space. It’s kind of ironic because usually panic rooms are places people go to when a catastrophe has happened – but in this case it’s a promise of fake security.”
