Anacarina premieres “BELIEVE” on V13, first single off ‘One of Your Forevers’ EP
Love is a complicated thing. So many songs, movies, poems, paintings, etc. condition us to bottle it into a lightning feeling that somehow solves every problem. “Numb” by Anacarina turns that whole idea on its head and asks: Why do the people who supposedly love us hurt us?

Once & Future Band Share “Andromeda” Video Via Get Into This UK
Describing the video, director Ryan Daniel Browne says, “This song by the Once & Future Band seems to be about loneliness, longing, and the dream of the perfect life partner. To me, it also sounded like a great excuse to go and film in the Outback — something I’ve always wanted to do. Much of this was shot at Mungo National Park, an extremely sacred place which is the traditional land of the Muthi Muthi, Nyiampaar and Barkinji Aboriginal Nations. I was grateful to be allowed to film there and took care not to film at certain sacred sites.

The song reminds me of traveling around the country and getting to take in some of the best she has to offer, and also that we’re fortunate to live somewhere so geographically diverse.”
