Is In For the Kill with Tess & The Details’ New Single And Music Video “CANARY”
The music video for “Canary” incorporates Alfred Hitchcock’s idea of using a blonde to symbolize his tragic, evil femme fatale as a nod to The Birds and other Hitchcock films. “Canary” turns that concept on its head. Tess explains that the character in the video is not “being tortured by the male protagonist,” as is typical in Hitchcock films, but rather, “She’s the mastermind. It’s cathartic to see the roles reversed. It’s the revenge of the Hitchcock blonde.”

An album divining + magnifying the psaltery, an American folk instrument, by Nathan Davis
Nathan Davis “writes music that deals deftly and poetically with timbre and sonority” (New York Times). His hands-on approach to divining unusual sounds and shaping them into expressive forms is recognized in works for the International Contemporary Ensemble, Third Coast, Ekmeles, Claire Chase, the Calder Quartet, Steven Schick, Doug Perkins, and Brooklyn Youth Chorus, with performances at BAM, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Kitchen, the Park Avenue Armory, and at hundreds of venues worldwide. Inspired by natural processes and acoustic phenomena, he often uses amplification and electronics organically with instruments to reveal and exaggerate subtle complexities of sound, forming an architectural sound-world through which the listener travels in experiencing a piece.
