Richmond indie rock band REVERSE YR CURSE have shared their new single “Shoes Today” and its accompanying music video, shot, directed and edited by Alex Germanotta, a Los Angeles-based video artist.
On the song, the band’s Bonnie Staley says:
“This song is literally and metaphorically about walking in someone else’s torn-up, worn-down shoes, and experiencing how uncomfortable they must be. It’s about empathy—seeing someone for who they truly are, and understanding how their life experiences have molded them. In this case, it’s also about someone I know.”
“Sometimes there’s enough magic in those jams that we don’t have to fidget with the arrangement too much. I loaded the recording into GarageBand, and the melody and lyrics came together quickly. In the studio, adding vocal harmonies, guitars, and synths elevated the song beyond what we can usually pull off live as a trio. Bringing it back to the stage becomes its own challenge, but we love that songs can take on different personas between the studio and live performance.”
“Shoes Today” follows the release of album’s lead single “Who Cares” alongside an accompanying music video, shot and edited by Carter Amos.
REVERSE YR CURSE released their debut album Where Are We Going and When Will We Get There? on September 19. The album was recorded with Alex De Jong at Spacebomb Studio in Richmond, Virginia.
