Bayonne is the musical project of Austin local Roger Sellers, who describes himself as a Phil Collins disciple. You can hear that influence on the new Bayonne single, “Spectrolite” and sink into his world with the accompanying music video. Directed by Lauren Gregory, the piece is an animated painted dreamy plane ride. On the genesis of the song, Sellers explains…
“It was about a stone that my girlfriend at the time had brought me back from Australia, a spectrolite stone. We had some things happen between us during that time, so that stone meant a lot to me. I had it with me the entire time I made the record. It’s a song about forgiveness, and keeping those people who matter most to you close around you, and caring for those that you love.”
Check out the video for “Spectrolite” above. Bayonne is set to release his Mom+Pop debut early next year. Catch him live at one of the dates below…
