Also shared today is the lyric video for ‘A Comma’, a wistful tune in which we witness serpentwithfeet searching for the source of his discomfort.
The single, originally released via Adult Swim Singles on 30th March, was the first insight into Apparition, while marking serpentwithfeet’s first new music since the single “Receipts (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)” was released in June 2019.
While crafting the EP, produced by Wynne Bennett (Janelle Monae, Tayla Parx, Twin Shadow), serpentwithfeet asked himself one question: ‘What ghosts am I welcoming into my house?’ Speaking further on the release, he explains:
“I believe in ghosts. Always have. I need them as much as I need breath. Often, I’ve rejected the way spirit moves in my life. Apparition EP follows my journey back home.”
Apparition EP tracklist:
- A Comma
- This Hill
- Psychic
serpentwithfeet is an avant-garde vocalist and performance artist whose growing body of work is rooted in duelling obsessions with the ephemeral and the everlasting – key components of his artistic journey from a childhood stint as a choirboy in Baltimore through his time at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where he studied vocal performance before relocating to New York City. His last album soil (#3 on New York Times “28 best albums of 2018”) is a return to the sensibilities and wide-eyed curiosity of his musical youth before symmetry and sterile soundscapes ruled the roost. The release of soil saw him rediscover and ultimately return to the unhinged version of himself he was sure he had outgrown. He is currently at work on the follow up to soil, due later this year.
