Meadownoise "Lyk Wool"

For the past few weeks ten weeks or so, I've been sharing Meadownoise videos as part of promotion for his newest release, Threeve. There are only two videos left and they may be my favorites among the bunch. It's tough to say that because I think there is a little something wonderful in all of them but when an artist is able to make something perfectly simple and it's still incredibly engaging; I'm over the moon.

"Lyk Wool" is a prime example of that. On paper, there's nothing to it. A hand gestures through a series of movements for 2 minutes but in that short span of time it covers a lot of ground. There are jokes and sentiments and real communication, without saying anything at all. For me, it's hard to look away.

The song is a b-side from the Threeve album and probably one of the more challenging of the bunch musically. It's a bit of droning ambience mixed with some field recording observations and Glassmeyer's signature falsetto floating over top; weaving some enigmatic poetry. That's not a negative tho, I find the seemingly stream of consciousness lyrics engaging; especially when he remarks that "clear is his favorite color."

I'll give a longer wrapup about Meadownoise in the coming weeks but I hope you'll spend some time with these videos; they are quite rewarding.
