Canadian musician Drew Smith first showed up on NTSIB when we shared his enchanting video for “Love Teeth”. Here we have him again with this lovely, “outsourced” video for “Smoke and Mirrors”.
Both “Smoke and Mirrors” and “Love Teeth” appear on Smith’s album The Secret Languages, which you will likely read more about here very soon.
We just received this submission minutes ago from Drew Smith, and even though I’m at my day job with limited resources (can’t even get you proper images to go with the post), it’s so heartbreakingly beautiful that I couldn’t wait to share it.
From Drew, the story of the video:
My first ‘real’ job was teaching English as a Second Language in Ontario. I kept in correspondence with many of my students, and was pleasantly surprised to find one of them, Sohee Jeon, had become an established animator in South Korea. She expressed how much she had been enjoying my music, and while I was working on my newest record The Secret Languages she generously offered up her services to make an animated video for my newest single “Love Teethâ€.
You can download the song in exchange for a tweet here.
