“Past and future intertwine in Alex Emslie‘s powerful prismatic video for Jack Cheshire‘s “Let Go Lightly”.
Haunting revolving landscapes, cityscapes, elemental forces and apocalyptic future visions blend and blur amid perpetual change and transformation. Straddling darkness and light, this piece is an impressionistic meditation on change, technology, life ‘out of balance’ and the mysterious power of nature.
Featuring the vocal sorcery of Fini Bearman and the subtle splendour of Jon Scott on drums, “Let Go Lightly” is the second single from Jack Cheshire’s forthcoming new album Interloper and is out now.”
Keep yourself together
Be still where you lie
There is a darkness
There is a light
Moon is up and you’re all alone
Ghost flickers on your telephone
I want to be underneath your spell
Lose control in the psychic swell
Incantations on the edge of town
Gates open when the lights go down
Hold on tightly
Let go lightly
Moon is up
Head’s on fire
Cigarette
Walls are wired
Change of heart
Change of plan
Haunted pictures
Strewn across the sand
Hold on tightly
Let go lightly
Piece yourself together
And then don’t look back
Disappearing down a one-way track
Blur of faces
Golden light
In a minute you’ll be out of sight
Piece yourself together
In that old cocoon
Projecting from your living room
Undercover
Looking glass
Lost futures in the distant past
There will be an album launch show on Tuesday 3 December 2024 at Paper Dress Vintage, 352a Mare Street, London E8 1 HR,
