Forward of his upcoming album, ‘Goodbye Dreampop Troubadour’, set for launch on the tenth of October by means of VanGarrett Information, ‘Hollywood Indicators’ from Kramies evokes nostalgia that’s paying homage to The Beatles (assume ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’), whereas sustaining a timeless really feel that’s clearly Kramies’ very personal.
You’re going to wish to take heed to this a number of occasions – the primary time along with your eyes closed, thoughts emptied of all different ideas aside from the tune itself, to be able to totally respect all of the subtleties and nuances. The second time you possibly can pay attention along with your eyes open, however in case you 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 stylish because the tune itself.
Comparisons can be made between Kramies and others who’ve gone earlier than him; I’ve accomplished it already in my opening paragraph. However I don’t assume 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 adore it a lot although! There are most likely 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 learn how to use it most correctly, is all by means of the tune – we may spend it emulating others, or we may select to as an alternative assume for ourselves.
The lyric video has us think about ourselves hitting the street in a Kombi van, one way or the other 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 may very well be a metaphor for losing time, whether or not it’s on the freeway or in chasing fame. Let’s not waste time, we must always select to have our time now, reasonably than placing it off for a wet day – who is aware of what tomorrow brings?
