I decided to indulge in my love of hand-worked darkroom techniques. Exposing 16mm film prepared with cyanotype solution to the light of the sun on my balcony every afternoon over a couple of weeks, making the work in small pieces, meant that as the fires in Southern California darkened the sky with smoke, my exposures took increasingly long amounts of time to get images ever more faint. Julia wanted me to share this anecdote, since it fits the dystopian theme of the song, which is about the world collapsing around us because of climate change. The video is made in homage to my dear friend and incredible filmmaker Amy Halpern, whose generous films and spirit are a comfort in dark times.“ - Dicky Bahto Filmed, printed, and edited by Dicky Bahto Featuring Julia Holter, with Patrick Londen, Julie Sadowski, and Katoosh Bahto With many thanks to Chloe Reyes, Andrew Kim, and the Echo Park Film Center Corey Fogel - drums Devin Hoff - double bass Julia Holter - vocals, drum samples, keyboards, background vocals Dina Maccabee - background vocals Sarah Belle Reid - trumpet Tashi Wada - bagpipes Follow Julia Holter: Facebook: Twitter: Instagram: Spotify: Apple Music: Follow Domino Record Co: YouTube: Website: Facebook: Twitter: Instagram: --- Fateful fateful weather whether surfing surf the withered peels peels of all dismantled huts The stunning architecture fills with wind Wind wind Exterior laughs any Anyway An inner ear serenity endures but I hear trivial talk talk to challenge us to assess our limitations I’ll keep the sunscreen in mind Downward folding peaceful a visitor and temporary thoughts about my allergies in order of importance and free-wheeling dreams Blue gray firmly like all the toxic dust that lines the clouds the angels spit down The fences fall, the bridges crumble to letters so that if I hear threatening words that force us all to sustain those positions I’ll bring my whiskey along
