PREMIERE: White Poppy – “Confusion”

White Poppy I Had A Dream ape and Flying-V from sources unknown—

“I kept having visions of sort of cheesy rock videos where the guitar player is on a mountain top doing a guitar solo,” says Dorval. “I wanted to do something like that, but I think it turned out to not really be cheesy which is kind of cool. The album is called Natural Phenomena, so I wanted the video to showcase the awe for natural beauty. I think the 8mm film makes this video concept look more magical then if it were filmed digitally.”

After touring as Mac DeMarco’s bassist (way, way before the scrub was famous), forcing herself to do projects where she’d write and record one song a day, and a few more obscure tape releases, Dorval left the city and moved to a farm on Vancouver Island where she wrote most of her forthcoming record.

“My life has changed quite drastically since the last album,” Dorval admits. “Most of what was familiar to me then, crumbled away, and I had to rebuild everything up from the bottom. I spent a lot of time and energy focused on healing and rehabilitation. I think I went through a major personal transformation from the last album to this one, and to me it feels like that essence is infused into the music.”

Natural Phenomena is out o 6.23 via Not Not Fun Records.
