[SONG OF THE DAY] Space Above - "Movements (feat. Boyboy)"

Last week Los Angeles based electro-pop outfit Space Above released a new track, “Movements”, from his forthcoming EP due later this year. You might know the New Zealand transplant (born Aaron Short) from his time playing keys with The Naked And Famous, but this has been his primary project for the last few years. The track is a collaboration with fellow Los Angeles based Kiwi, Boyboy (born Sam McCarthy), and recounts their shared experiences with earthquakes upon moving to Los Angeles. McCarthy was inspired to lyrically explore the fear, helplessness, and inevitable acceptance one goes through when overwhelmed by forces much greater than our own. The pairing of McCarthy’s lyrics atop a synth laden soundscape that is evocatively akin to the full course of a micro adrenaline rush triggered by something that catches you off guard. Speaking on the track, Short shared, “It’s fascinating how the instinctual reaction is immediate survival mode, but after a little time passes (and in our case, so did the shakes) you then grasp just how little control you have of the situation when it’s literally the earth moving beneath you.”

The accompanying music video was crafted by Anna Chocholi, who takes these themes and presents the song in a world that is dark and jagged in nature, while leading us on a journey that is met with warmth and surrealism.

“Movements” follows EP cuts, “Golden (feat. So Below)”, “Nobody Home (feat. Tom Young)”, and “Stolen Days (feat. Alisa Xayalith)”, which are worth catching yourself up on before the rest of the EP drops.
