Alexandra Savior shares new single “Saving Grace” with official video, out now via 30th Century Records

“Portland’s mystery girl (VICE)” may no longer be a kept secret, but Alexandra Savior can never be fully figured out. With her latest single “Saving Grace,” she also releases a cinematic noir film directed by Joseph Bird (Blonde Redhead) — complete with a motorcycle ride through the desert and Savior’s signature stare piercing the lens outside a drive-thru chapel — to accompany the already sweeping track. Savior painted the single artwork herself, and it showcases that see-right-through-you Mona Lisa smile that we see in the video.

Describing the video in her own words, Savior says:
“This video was made with intuition… We went to Vegas to capture the lights and the energy of this specific representation of America. I think the character is in a contemplative state where she is fantasizing rather than living, which is the expectation of Vegas for most of us.”
