JAUNT release visual album for new LP, ‘ ‘ALL IN ONE’, out tomorrow, APRIL 16

Tomorrow, Toronto-based six-piece Jaunt will release their sprawling debut album, All In One, and today they are sharing a series of strangely prophetic visuals for the LP made in partnership with Tranquilo (MorMor, Charlotte Day Wilson). The collection of six videos depicts each member of Jaunt in solitude at home within a moment of time. Jaunt’s drummer Duncan Hood notes, “These videos shot in January were originally intended to highlight the serenity found in everyday acts of escape in self-care — painting, cooking, listening, reading, cleaning, watching. Now in this new era we are all experiencing together, they seem less about escape and more about our collective confinement. In lockdown the intended meaning of the videos, let alone the album as a whole, has completely changed. Finding a sense of peace in the otherwise lonely aspects of routine felt, in January, aspirational. Now, it feels necessary, almost mandatory.”
