December 10, 2016

Singer-Songwriter Andrew Paley is widely known for his work with post-punk The Static Age as well as several other side projects. His new music with his solo project truly takes on a whole new level as he explores a bigger soundscape. His songs are rich with emotion as he his lyrics come to life and take you on a musical journey. Andrew recently released his new video for his track, Let Me Go takes you on a stunning atmospheric journey and awakens your senses through his song. He explains how the video takes you on that journey, “For ‘Let Me Go’ I wanted a video that felt like a journey without being illustrative or narrative, something that could match the space and scale of the song. As we started to develop concepts, my brother turned me on to videos he’d found online taken by a guy who mounts cameras on the dashboards of trains as they travel through Europe. The result is surreal and hypnotic, and it struck me as the perfect complement to the song.” [Read More]
