Laura Veirs has released a new song.
A hazy, dreamlike aesthetic surrounds Another Space And Time. The 46-year-old reflects on a better world while plucking a serene melody on an acoustic guitar over a string arrangement backdrop. "In another space and time, California’s not burning and the seas don’t rise. I’ll meet you there and I will remember the day that the internet died. We found peace of mind," she sings.
The track comes paired with a video and will feature on her 11th solo album, 'My Echo', due out on October 23 via Bella Union. She said in a statement:
"This is the first time I’ve danced in a music video. I loved dancing in it! It was choreographed by a Portland-based Brazilian dancer named Nelson Euflauzino (who also appears in the video). It was shot by an 18-year old music video director named Twixx Williams. The dancers you see here are friends of mine (not professional dancers). We did all of the rehearsing and shooting socially-distanced and outside over the Covid summer of 2020. The outfits were made by a local stylist named Alethea Dalton (the dress I’m wearing is an old vintage dress owned by Alethea but she made the other dresses).
"I love the surrealistic elements that come into play in this video. In these lyrics I desire an escape from the way things are right now. In this "other space and time" California’s NOT burning, people DO have peace of mind, the internet is DEAD (and people are present with each other in real life instead of living on screens). This song is a dream that we can and will live in a more peaceful, loving world - and a world with more personal freedoms, too. I love how these wishes are embodied in the movements of the dancers. We look free and happy because we were!"
The follow-up to 2018's 'The Lookout' was produced by Veirs' ex-husband Tucker Martine in 2019. It'll also boast guest appearances from Jim James, Bill Frisell, Karl Blau and Matt Ward, among others.
