Taste Test: Lake & Lyndale find salvation in one-take video, ‘There’s a Weight’
The Americana band film their new music video backwards and in one take.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
There can often be a baptismal effect from music. It’s almost allowing your soul to flutter into a church revival down the street, and you become washed in the sweet nectar of music. It fills your lungs and your heart with a redemption you can’t get anywhere else. Such is the case for Americana-honeyed four-piece Lake & Lyndale‘s new song “There’s a Weight,” an organ-drenched gospel configuration also dipped in tones of classic country and southern rock. The band ⏤ of lead singer Channing Krentz, Jonathan Krentz (guitar), Eric Clifford (bass) and Tyler Kloewer (drums) ⏤ let the salvation of percussion and guitar take them to heaven (metaphorically, of course). The Ben Boutwell-directed visual, filmed in one-take (and backwards!), calls to the free-spirited nature of gospel music itself, as Krentz weaves through a dusty backroad and seems to go through a tremendous transformation of her own making. “Give me the remedy, so I can break from a prison that I made,” she sings, emerging from the devil’s wily ways for her own solution.
