Following her recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon performing alongside Jagjaguwar label mate Bon Iver, Gordi has unveiled the official video for her latest single, “So Here We Are,” via NPR Music. According to Gordi, “The song is about all the things that have brought you to where you are right now. It’s inspired by uncertainty and a willingness to see darkness that comes with pursuing the light.”
The “So Here We Are” video brings to life the cinematic themes layered within the heartbreaking lo-fi piano and vocoder-led lullaby. It was produced by Thomas Rawle and PAXI – PAXI worked on the dark, night footage, while Thomas Rawle (who also plays music as DRELLER) provided the contrasting animations and graphics which helps show the interplay between two different worlds. “In the video there isn’t any clear end or beginning to the journey – the message being that this same journey is had by everyone constantly,” explains Gordi.
The craft in Gordi’s songwriting is found partly in the emotional spectrum that her tracks span – from wistful aching to spirited celebration, her lyrical journeys take us places in our memories and imaginations that belie her 23 years. The candor in her songs is matched by a vocal tone that is at once fractured and brimming with richness. Combining vintage vocal layering and earthy guitar textures with delicate modern electronic production, Gordi’s sonic palette is one she can call her own.
