Recent On The Rise act Your Friend aka Taryn Miller has released the second single from her upcoming debut album Gumption along with a video. Directed by Christophe Acker / Thatfilm, the clip was shot in Paris just days after the terror attacks. Says Miller,
We shot the footage on my last day in Paris, when I was there last November for Red Bull Music Academy. It was freezing, and wild. He (the motorcycle driver) was weaving between highway traffic and at times, splitting the space between semis. It all came together at the very end of my trip, and was a really lovely way to leave after seeing what so many endured. There was this juxtaposition of the time that I arrived, and the night before I left. The streets were empty on my first day there, and it was exhilarating to be riding back into the city like that, and to have witnessed such resilience during such a dark time.
Check out the soft and stunning video above.
Gumption comes out January 29th, 2016 on Domino Records. Pre-order a physical copy here or digitally via iTunes here. It’s really good. Check out the album art and tracklist below as well as tour dates.
