MUSIC VIDEO: FIVER – “JUNE LIKE A BUG”
A song for the summer: Fiver and the Atlantic School Of Spontaneous Composition present June Like A Bug from the Fiver with The Atlantic School Of Spontaneous Composition LP/CD/Digital album. Wild in the details and the weeds. A vision of life. Directed by Simone Schmidt.
“This song is a poem about the transition into summer time,
how it can be hard to match and keep up with the world in full bloom.”
July Go Easy.
MUSIC VIDEO: FIVER – “JR. WRECK”
“There was no place to stay I had to be on my way
And I cursed every word for reading wrong
I owe a little thanks to the kid on the train
He could tell I was aching and he gave me his seat”
Enter a fluid, interconnected, ever-metamophosizing world in this spectacularly animated video for “Jr Wreck” from Fiver with The Atlantic School Of Spontaneous Composition by director Anne Douris. It’s a lush and beautiful thing.
