Esmé Patterson offers her latest video, one for title track off of her third album, We Were Wild, out Friday (November 11) on CD and limited edition magenta vinyl. Apparently Esmé’s typical quick and live-recording style adopted for her first two efforts was abandoned in favour of a prolonged period of pre-production.
“We Were Wild” is wistful with jangly country folk guitar with thick, sedate, tree trunk bass. Things get impassioned and hectic, busy and frenzied. She sounds content, but there is also an element of melancholy to give the song some extra dimension. Shadows esque guitar gives it, you could say, a stilted happiness, a certain naiveté.
The video, shot entirely on her iPhone, sees her take on the role of director, editor and producer in the wilds of Alaska. Whether that is taking in the sights out the window of a train journey, or feet planted on ground admiring the scenery up, close and personal, there is plenty to admire. More so when you have bird’s eye view, soaking it all up via aeroplane. Tour dates bottom of article.
