VIDEO PREMIERE

It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine has the premiere of the Sweetened version of Blesson Roy’s “Undertow,” created by Sweeten (aka Tom Gorai, who has produced videos for Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, A Tribe Called Quest, and more). From Think Like Spring, out now on Slow Start Records. Sweeten previously directed the video for “Should’ve Known Better,” also on Think Like Spring.

About the song, Blesson Roy says, “‘Undertow’ took on a darker and lusher soundscape than I had originally imagined, having written that one as a Leonard Cohen or Nick Drake-influenced acoustic guitar song. As the recording unfolded, however, I realized that ‘Undertow’ needed a dark ambient soundscape rather than a stripped-down acoustic production. I had the time and intention to be open to following songs in one direction, and then going in the opposite musical direction, until it seemed that the song had found its way home in the recording.”
