Kate Bollinger Releases New Song “To Your Own Devices”
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Kate Bollinger released a new song “To Your Own Devices” along with a music video on June 27, 2024.
The song is the second single off of her upcoming debut album “Songs From a Thousand Frames of Mind”, which is set to be released on September 27, 2024.
The track was written by Catherine Bollinger and produced by Sam Evian.
Kate Bollinger said of the song, “In May of 2023, my friends Al, Parker (Essential Forever and Good Dog Nigel respectively) and I decided to each try and write a song a day. This is one that I wrote at that time. We recorded it on the third day of the album sessions in the Catskills, live to tape, and without headphones.”- The accompanying video was directed by Kate Bollinger and Nikki Milan Houston, starring Kate Bollinger, Emma Collins and Evangeline Neuhart.
Kate Bollinger said of the video, “When I first moved to Los Angeles, I came across a book of old Japanese designs called MOGA, a catchword meaning 'modern girls' that was used to describe fashionable city women who embraced westernized modes and manners in the 1920s. In the book I found a surrealist design that depicted a woman, underwater with fish swimming around her, wearing a beautiful costume, and stirring a giant fish bowl like a pot of soup and I knew immediately that I wanted to recreate the scene for the album cover.” -
She continued, “I wrote a script for the music video and brought in filmmaker Nikki Milan Houston as my co-director and set designer. We brought in Odie Summers as set fabricator and in a friend's studio downtown, a kitchen set was built over several days and came to life because of the distinctive skills and devotion of everyone involved.”
