Today Dylan MacDonald who goes by Field Guide dropped the Wong Kar-Wai-esque artsy slo-mo music video for Leave You Lonely.
The leading single is taken from the upcoming self-titled eponymous album which comes out on October 28, 2022 via Birthday Cake Records.
A nice intimate moody indie folk pop tune.
About the track:
“Leave You Lonely” is a track about “devotion,” says MacDonald.
“It’s about fighting complacency. Having doubts is human, but swallowing those feelings can often lead us into a haze of disconnection.
It’s rare to hold only one feeling at a time and I’ve been learning to embrace the myriad of emotions that come with being alive, and in love. This song represents a beautiful and imperfect love, the recording is the same — no editing, a one take (and sometimes out of tune) vocal.”
The single arrives with a video that was made en route from Sierra Vista, Arizona to San Diego, California. “Despite the fact that ‘Leave You Lonely’ was recorded during one of Manitoba’s coldest winters in decades, the desert seemed to have a place in the story of the song,” MacDonald explains.
“The intense heat made us move slow. That lethargy paired with the choice of a slow frame rate made me feel as though I could move my body to the music without feeling as inhibited as I normally might. Filming this video felt a lot like listening back to a demo of a new song, or even mixes of the final recording — I’ll often wander around the house or outside on a walk feeling pleased to have accurately captured my interior world in song.”
