Virginia-born, LA-based multidisciplinary artist Kate Bollinger recently announced her long awaited kaleidoscopic debut album Songs From A Thousand Frames Of Mind, due September 27th on Ghostly International. Today she shares a new song from the album, the lilting, empathetic “To Your Own Devices.”
Of the music video, co-directed by Bollinger and Nikki Milan Houston, she says “When I first moved to Los Angeles, I came across a book of old Japanese designs called MOGA, a catchword meaning ‘modern girls’ that was used to describe fashionable city women who embraced westernized modes and manners in the 1920s. In the book I found a surrealist design that depicted a woman, underwater with fish swimming around her, wearing a beautiful costume, and stirring a giant fish bowl like a pot of soup and I knew immediately that I wanted to recreate the scene for the album cover. I wrote a script for the music video and brought in filmmaker Nikki Milan Houston as my co-director and set designer. We brought in Odie Summers as set fabricator and in a friend’s studio downtown, a kitchen set was built over several days and came to life because of the distinctive skills and devotion of everyone involved.”
