Forward of his upcoming album, ‘Goodbye Dreampop Troubadour’, set for launch on the tenth of October via VanGarrett Data, ‘Hollywood Indicators’ from Kramies evokes nostalgia that’s harking back 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 need to take heed to this a number of occasions – the primary time together with your eyes closed, thoughts emptied of all different ideas aside from the music itself, in an effort to totally respect all of the subtleties and nuances. The second time you possibly can pay attention together with your eyes open, however for those who 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 will likely be made between Kramies and others who’ve gone earlier than him; I’ve achieved 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 medicine on the subway in New York” the place the music is at its most ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’? I find it irresistible 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 the right way to use it most properly, is all via the music – we might spend it emulating others, or we might 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, Huge 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 could possibly 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, fairly than placing it off for a wet day – who is aware of what tomorrow brings?
