One of the people who fell in love with Daughn Gibson’s first album All Hell was Saam Farahmand. One of his generation’s most creative music video directors, he approached Daughn with an idea – an open ended music video inspired by the songs of All Hell.

Just as Daughn’s music works by approaching 21st century techniques with old-as-the-woods ideas of the people’s music, Another Hell, showing above, is a portrait of a dramatic awakening.

How did Another Hell come about?

In 2012, Milo Cordell from Merok Records introduced me to Daughn’s music and I fell in love with songs from, ‘All Hell’. I couldn’t stop listening to it, and learning about him. I was obsessed with his backstory and his dark ballads, and as a concept and image he was the most exciting artist I had come across in a long time. He was like Marlon Brando, Henry Rollins, Lee Hazelwood and Jim Morrison, all at the same time. I was in LA and I just contacted Daughn to ask him if I could make a video for his music, a kind of portrait interpretation.

The more time I spent with him and his music, the more obsessed i became by the idea of a conflicted character who was good and bad at the same time. Alot of people around me were waking up and escaping bad places and destroying these places in the process (companies, relationships, living situations). It was just something in the air that combined with his music into a short narrative, with Daughn as a muse for its intentions. I was also excited about the idea of an artist to appear out of the blue in this way. That magic time at the beginning of an artists journey is something you can never get back.

New Julia Holter song “World”; the video (by Rick Bahto) explores cityscapes through the lens of Kodaks and Super-8s. It’s the opening track from Julia’s upcoming album Loud City Song (out on August 20 via Domino Australia), co-produced by Cole Marsden Greif-Neill (Nite Jewel/The Samps/Haunted Graffiti). The album is a love song to LA, “taking inspiration from Collette’s 1944 novella Gigi and using it as a prism through which to explore her relationship with her hometown of Los Angeles and modern life universally, taking cues from the work of Joni Mitchell and the poetry of Frank O’Hara” ♥
