The band will release their new record, How To Dance, next month.
Alt-country trio Mount Moriah have shared a new video and track. ‘Baby Blue’ — the second single from their forthcoming album — is a crisp, folky slow-burner. Coupled with a beautiful new music video, the Mount Moriah’s gorgeous, ethereal sound will stop you in your tracks. The video’s director, Jordan Blake, has noted that he aimed to create a strong level of ‘authenticity’ and ‘surreality’ in the video:
“With the video, I wanted to show these little moments of isolation, then turn them into something more interesting by including bits and pieces of our crew. The idea was to make these ‘authentic’ snapshots feel kind of surreal, because you can see it’s all staged. And I guess, on a deeper level, I wanted to prompt some thought about the way we frame our own personal memories/perceptions of others”.
How To Dance will be Mount Moriah’s third studio album, and will include a ‘garage rock’ version of ‘Baby Blue’. On the record, the band aim to present new themes of symbolism, geometry, and universality. Released via Merge Records on March the 3rd, How To Dance will be the alt-country and bluegrass album of the year. Pre-order How To Dance here.
