Ahead of their album releasing tomorrow.
Toronto’s Jaunt dropped a series of strangely prophetic visuals for the LP made in partnership with tranquilo (MorMor, Charlotte Day Wilson).
The collection of six videos depicts each member of Jaunt in solitude at home within a moment of time.
Jaunt’s drummer Duncan Hood notes:
“These videos shot in January were originally intended to highlight the serenity found in everyday acts of escape in self-care — painting (Tom), cooking (Daniel), listening (Duncan), reading (Nick), cleaning (Pat), watching (Caitlin). Now in this new era we are all experiencing together, they seem less about escape and more about our collective confinement.
In lockdown the intended meaning of the videos, let alone the album as a whole, has completely changed. Finding a sense of peace in the otherwise lonely aspects of routine felt, in January, aspirational. Now, it feels necessary, almost mandatory.”
Love the whole album which is filled with groovy funky and dreamy pop music.
Again think of them as the Canadian version of The Dirty Projectors.
All in One (The album) gets:
