Watch: Kristine Leschper Airs "Blue" Music Video


Philadelphia avant garde/avant pop musician Kristine Leschper has aired the video for her latest single "Blue". 

The song is taken from their latest album 'The Opening, Or Closing Of A Door', which came out earlier this month (March 4th) via ANTI- Records. Grab your copy here.

Leschper’s The Opening, Or Closing Of A Door, is a paean to the sensory world. It’s the first Leschper has released under her given name, having retired the moniker Mothers after eight years of performing and releasing music under it. Though both projects are guided by Leschper’s idiosyncratic approach to songwriting, they couldn’t sound more different. While Mothers drew inspiration from the stark, skeletal sounds of post-punk and contemporary folk, Leschper’s new work is practically baroque, integrating an array of synthesizers, strings, woodwinds, and over a dozen percussive instruments. “Earlier work didn’t involve recording as part of the writing process, recordings were simply made as a document of something that had been written and rehearsed. I have since discovered a deep affection for home recording and sound exploration, finding that I thrive in those rabbit holes of texture, timbre, rhythm, which can add so much complexity to the emotionality of a composition.”

Watch: Mothers Reveal Music Video For "PINK"

Philadelphia experimental/alt/indie folk band Mothers have revealed the video for their newest single "PINK".

The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from their forthcoming second album 'Render Another Ugly Method,' available September 7th via ANTI-Records. Pre-order your copy here.

Kristine Leschper, songwriter and founding member of the project, describes the collection as “an assemblage of personal vignettes and imagined scenarios that examines consent, escape of the body, power and powerlessness, and the act of making.” 

About the song and the clip, she explains: “Pink” deals with the passage of time. It describes a series of memories within cars — cars of my childhood, recent past, and present – and subsequent feelings of childlike removal and helplessness. The video aims to reciprocate these three vignettes of idling, through limited actions and minimalist set design divided into three parts.

It was directed by Jake Lazovick and Richard Phillip Smith. Check out below.
