Thanks to the ridiculously talented Solter family Hidden Shoal is pleased to present the gorgeous new music video for the Boxharp track ‘Rainbirds’. Mark Solter (brother of Boxharp’s Scott Solter) laid his inimitable talents across the direction, cinematography and editing of this video along with the upcoming music video for Boxharp’s ‘FanFin’. Just to add to the familial talent pool, besides Scott’s duties with Boxharp he has also recently been busy producing the much lauded Majesty Shredding by Superchunk as well as Liam Singer’s latest opus Dislocatia and even slipping in a Neon Indian remix amongst other things.
‘Rainbirds’ is a cascading, enrapturing, bejewelled feast of a song that displays the full bloom of Boxharp’s talents. Chiming melodies interweave beautifully with ambient textures and Wendy Allen’s pure vocals, giving way to a transcendent harmonised middle eight. The melodies return, crested by sparkling, wavering tones – and then, as if the door to the most intricate Cornell shadow box closes in front of you, it’s all over.
View and embed the video via YouTube or Vimeo. ‘Rainbirds’ is taken from the Loam Arcane EP available now through Hidden Shoal along with Boxharp’s latest full length, The Green. The track is also available for free download from the Hidden Shoal Store.
