Forward of his upcoming album, ‘Goodbye Dreampop Troubadour’, set for launch on the tenth of October by VanGarrett Data, ‘Hollywood Indicators’ from Kramies evokes nostalgia that’s harking back to The Beatles (suppose ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’), whereas sustaining a timeless really feel that’s clearly Kramies’ very personal.
You’re going to need to take heed to this a couple of instances – the primary time along with your eyes closed, thoughts emptied of all different ideas other than the music itself, so as to totally admire all of the subtleties and nuances. The second time you possibly can hear along with your eyes open, however if you happen to really feel your self drifting off, permit it. The third time, watch the accompanying stop-motion animation lyric video, that’s simply as trippy and elegant because the music itself.
Comparisons might be made between Kramies and others who’ve gone earlier than him; I’ve carried out it already in my opening paragraph. However I don’t suppose that is mere co-incidence, else why would Kramies match the road, “Scoring our medication on the subway in New York” the place the music is at its most ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’? I like it a lot although! There are in all probability much more comparisons to be made, however proper now, that’s the one which leaps out at me.
This concept of time, and having a restricted quantity of it, and deciding how one can use it most correctly, is all by the music – we may spend it emulating others, or we may select to as a substitute suppose for ourselves.
The lyric video has us think about ourselves hitting the street in a Kombi van, by some means capable of drive between London and New York, Massive Sur and Hollywood, the latter of which he bemoans the “silly Hollywood indicators!”. It’s unclear whether or not or not he’s speaking about street indicators or the massive white letters within the Hills, however hey, why not each? Both might be a metaphor for losing time, whether or not it’s on the freeway or in chasing fame. Let’s not waste time, we should always select to have our time now, reasonably than placing it off for a wet day – who is aware of what tomorrow brings?
