STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
Treble Zine has shared the “hazy yet lo-fi” clip for “Bungleweed Motherwort” by Figg, which it calls a “lovely, stripped-down dream folk tune.” The video was produced by the band’s Gilden Tunador and edited by Hector Gallardo of Subharmonic City.
According to Tunador, “the video’s visuals are a nod to My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless album cover…”
So, I called up Brian Eno and said, "Hey, my peeps in Figg are premiering a cover of your song 'Needle In The Camel's Eye' at Surviving The Golden Age on Thursday. Can you announce your new album at the exact same time?" His reply? "Yes, my dawg, yes."
Figg recorded this version a decade ago during the sessions for their debut album which was finally released this year. Album two will come along much sooner, promise!
The lyric video for Figg's "Jack Is The Pulpit" single was created by Hector Gallardo at Subharmonic City Productions and is premiering at The Big Takeover today. The song is from the decade-delayed debut album from the former Carissa's Wierd members that is finally available everywhere after all these years.
"Delicately weaved in textured instrumentation and melodies... pensively moving through different twists and tangles." Deep dive today with Figg over at American Songwriter as writer Tina Benitez-Eves finds out what the band's debut album is all about and what happened during the decade between it being recorded and being released.
"This band has been worth waiting for. A sound that is as fresh today as it would have been a decade ago." PopMatters drops another track from the decade-delayed debut album by Figg (ex-Carissa's Wierd, Modest Mouse, Love As Laughter) which will finally see the light of day on June 12th. Listen to "Jack is the Pulpit" now and the entire record this Friday.
This morning at FLOOD Magazine: "Figg Get Creative with 'Black Tar of Camden Yards' Video. The Carissa’s Wierd offshoot enlisted YouTuber Jacob The Carpetbagger for the quarantine-produced clip." Check it out now and look out for the decade-delayed debut album, out June 12th. Also, too: Band of Horses, Modest Mouse, 764-HERO.
