The Rocket Summer has revealed the video for his single Blankets, taken from his forthcoming album Sweet Shivers.
“There are not reasons for everything, yet, there are no reasons to leave’—easily one of my favourite lyrics on this record,” comments Bryce Avary, the mastermind behind The Rocket Summer. “Every time I sing it, even now, it still resonates and cuts deeply into my core. ‘Sweet Shivers’ (which comes from a lyric in ‘Blankets’) is referring to an emotion: a feeling of excitement and joy in the unknown, even if the unknown itself is more dressed up in less than ideal feelings of uncertainty. A letting go of sorts; beauty in the free fall. Sonically, to me, the melancholic yet contrastingly hopeful spirit within the journey of the free fall is what this song sounds like.”
The video forms part of an extended narrative running across the album’s singles, check it out below.
