Earlier this year, Braden Lam released his new LP, The Cloudmaker’s Cry, and has now shared the new video for “Bigger Flamer” from the record, a song which began when “my friend Jesse Thomas (aka Awolk) brought this idea to me shortly after my wife had a serious cancer scare and emergency surgery due to endometriosis,” says Lam. “I instantly resonated with the theme – embracing the pain and hoping we only grow closer through it. I spent some time expanding on the story and verses to tell my own story. One of my favourite co-writes on the album, it’s very much adjacent to ‘Wide Open (feat. Michaela Slinger)’. If ‘Wide Open’ is the invitation, then ‘Bigger Flame’ is the encouragement to keep going – ‘To make a bigger flame / You gotta fan it with the painful things / All these sparks are flying high / it’s just what we needed’.”
