Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Jessica Pratt Releases New Song “World on a String”
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Jessica Pratt will release her upcoming fourth studio album “Here in the Pitch” on May 3, 2024 via Mexican Summer and City Slang.
The album is her first body of work in five years since the 2019 album “Quiet Signs” and comprises a 9-track.
Jessica Pratt said of the album, “I never wanted it to take this long. I'm just a real perfectionist. I was just trying to get the right feeling, and it takes a long time to do that.”
From the album, she unveiled the second single called “World on a String” on March 26, 2024, following “Life Is”.
The track was written and produced by Jessica Pratt, with production by Kate Bollinger.
Jessica Pratt said of the song, “On this track I was influenced by the swaying, naive brilliance of 'lost' teenage garage rock bands, as well as enduring loves like the Nazz and Guided by Voices. Record the song moments after you've learned it on an instrument you've just picked up. Oftentimes, that's all you need.”- The accompanying music video was directed by Kate Bollinger.
Kate Bollinger said of the video, “Making this video with Jessica was a dream art project. We emailed for days, discussing the song and trying to combine the images we saw in our heads while listening, eventually landing on a mondo style march-of-the-pagan village meets field of freaks. We brought in many friends from Los Angeles: 2 DPs, Leanna Kaiser and Gilles O'Kane, to get the found footage sort of multi perspective feel with a mix of super 8 and 16mm, 20 cast members, and Evangeline Neuhart to help with the production design. It was a big group effort and a day I'll always remember.” -
