After announcing her second album Meet Me at the Gloaming last month, that’s due out 14th October 2022 via Father/Daughter Records (US) / Hand In Hive (UK), today Los Angeles based musician A.O. Gerber offers up new single ‘For’ and its visually-arresting video.
Speaking on the track A.O. Gerber says: “I wrote this song about watching a friend go through a really difficult time and the shame of feeling like I didn’t know how to be there for them because I was too messed up myself. Intimacy in friendship can be so challenging. It’s a kind of vulnerability and closeness that I’m only just starting to feel safe practicing and I don’t always feel like I’m doing a good job.
I re-recorded the vocals for this song three or four times. There was a rawness in the scratch vocals that I really wanted to capture in a better recording, but the more I tried to do that the harder it became. The final take I ended up using was one I recorded myself, crouched inside a closet at night in a cabin at a writing residency in Washington last summer.”
She adds of the video: “We filmed this video in less than two hours, totally improvised, after shooting the album cover. Seannie happened to have a good camera with her and wanted to make use of the gloaming light. It was an exercise in not over-thinking. The imagery ended up being so tied to what this record is about for me.”
‘For’ comes after previous tracks ‘Hunger’ (video here), and ‘Looking For The Right things’ (video here), all of which are taken from the new album Meet Me at the Gloaming. Here, A.O. Gerber carefully grapples with the constraints she was taught as a child to reach for the flourishing that comes when we look past the black and white, and into the grey gauze of the in-between. By interlocking memory and imagination, Gerber crafts a gleaming future, where the light and the dark don’t just coexist––they create a new colour entirely.
She’ll be embarking on a headline UK tour this November, with tickets on sale now here.
