Quickie:
Earning Keep, the follow up to Christopher Smith’s 2010 debutThe Beckon Call, is available on Boompa on August 28. Produced by Todd Simko (Pure), it was recorded at Simko’s studio and Mushroom Studio in Vancouver. Earning Keep finds the Vancouver singer-songwriter expanding his musical palette. Where The Beckon Call was largely acoustic, Earning Keepfeatures more diverse instrumentation and an atmospheric sound including minimal piano ballads and harsher, stark noise.
Smith has also premiered the first video from Earning Keep for the single “Pillars and Pyre.” The video marks Smith’s directorial debut, who began his career as a visual artist. Filmed in black and white, the video features a longhaired, bearded drummer playing in slow motion, backed by Smith’s drifting music and soft vocals. Stay tuned for his fall tour dates.
