This week’s Friday Night Jam is Twigs, by Oldtwig, a beatmaker, composer, and landscape architect (!) from Paris. It is from Through Hills, which is his first record.
It’s a mellow, soothing number, and the video is a visual celebration of spring triumphing over winter.
I picked it to share today because a) it’s lovely, b) I feel like this week, not even to mention this winter, has been hard for everyone and we could all use a reminder that the trees will grow new branches and flowers will bloom again some day and c) the combination of animation and live action, especially Rachel Brooker‘s joyful, encouraging dancing, is both surprising and awesome.
