Watch the video for Slight Of’s “Winter’s Maze” off their upcoming album
“‘We shot the video back in January, before the pandemic hit New York. It feels like a dream now. We spent the day wandering the city in the cold, gathering friends and strangers to participate in a surprisingly beautiful, often awkward series of video portraits. It’s strange, all the things I took for granted back then. It was one of the last times I saw many of those people.
I suspect I’m not the only one who has had a lot of time to think lately. I’m thinking a lot about what the future might look like – all the scary possibilities – but then I remember that when we’re in the thick of something it’s hard to see the path ahead. When I hear the song now I like to imagine that it’s precisely what we’re going through at this moment that will allow us to shake off the dust and move forward.”

Grant-Lee Phillips Shares “Mourning Dove”
“Of the entire album, ‘Mourning Dove’ is among the oldest songs,” Phillips offers. “I lived with it for several years and it went through various stages before its completion. I began writing it in consideration for The Narrows. Like so much of that album, it’s a reflection of what we hold dear, what we value, ‘The things we chase that can’t be kept.’ It was one of the first things I wrote after moving to Tennessee. The imagery of dogwood trees and wildflowers were inspired by my connection to this place. It’s also a vision of a world beyond strife or a rest after a long battle.”
