While the release of their debut LP draws near, LA's Massage reveal another single, matched with an incredible animated video created by their own keyboardist/vocalist, Gabrielle Ferrer.
The quintet's alluring jangle/dreampop charm corresponds smoothly with the video's quirky visuals, creating something perfectly cohesive and impressive.
Ferrer explains more about the video's creation: "I’m an artist and I recently became interested in animation. I have been wanting to animate a music video for Massage for some time and thought Oh Boy would be a great fit. It’s mostly traditional hand-drawn animation, hundreds of distinct drawings, made with a graphite pencil and a few colored pencils. I love Andrew’s lyrics because they’re a portrait of domestic quotidian, presented without judgment, that in the end speak to longing and inspire melancholy. So I drew my own version of domesticity and tried to illustrate the strange magic of the everyday presented through objects. And my cat, Cal. And snails."
Massage is comprised of guitarist/vocalist Alex Naidus, formerly of Pains of Being Pure at Heart, drummer Michael Felix, guitarist/vocalist Andrew Romano, bassist David Rager, and keyboardist/vocalist Gabrielle Ferrer. Oh Boy comes out July 27th, 2018 on Tear Jerk Records.
