Bio:
GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter and musician Gregory Alan Isakov
will release his anticipated new album, Appaloosa Bones, August 18 via Dualtone Records and Isakov’s own label, Suitcase Town Music (pre-order/pre-save here). Ahead of the release, new song, “The Fall,” is debuting today. Watch/share the official music video—directed by Jasmine McGlade (Director, Fencer and Executive Producer, LA LA Land) and animated by Ruth Lingford (Head of Animation, Harvard University)—HERE.
Of the video, McGlade shares, “Gregory’s music is so poignant, and ‘The Fall’ in particular has such a powerful, spiritual quality to it. I knew I wanted to make a video immersed in nature that fit with Greg’s aesthetic and the emotional realm of the song, while also creating characters and vintage, old-timey elements that connect with the lyrics. The piece, perhaps like the song, should ultimately say something about the human condition, and what it means to be alive—in a way that is a bit surrealist.” Produced by Isakov and Andrew Berlin (Descendents, Rise Against) and recorded at Isakov’s
studio outside of Boulder, Appaloosa Bones is his first new album in five years.
