Hudson Mohawke‘s new album Lantern is out June 16 via Warp, and tonight, his single “Very First Breath” got a music video. It features two characters who have a conversation (that we can’t hear), which leads to a precarious meeting. It’s directed by Sam de Jong.
In a statement, HudMo discussed the song’s personal significance.
“Very First Breath” was something fresh for me. I’d been touring on the same circuit for a couple of years with Irfane and I had been so busy on TNGHT stuff I was itching to work on more song structured record… The album flows through the passage of the day and in my head, I see this song as the very beginning of the record. The sun just coming up. It was important this was the first track people hear.
