The gloomy feeling of stepping outside into freezing rain, hurrying home from the metro because the coat you brought isn't warm enough... These are the emotions summoned by Milk Jennings' (member of Chinese American Bear) latest single, "Raincoat," featuring Sam Cohen.
This is the second single from Seattle-based artist Milk Jennings, who worked with producer Sam Cohen on the release. It's a sombre yet dynamic and bold effort from Jennings, touching on the darker side of life. The song is loosely about self-paranoia and empowerment, and it gets under your skin. It features crisp, soulful instrumentals and backup vocals by Cohen and flute by acclaimed flutist/saxophonist Cochemea Gastelum (Beck, St. Vincent, David Byrne).
Still from Raincoat
"Raincoat" is laced with melancholy using lyrics that Jennings attests are still shrouded in mystery to himself - making each listen uniquely engaging as the wobbly wisps of narrative continue to morph and change.
Jennings is also announcing his debut album titled 'Sleep Talker', out June 3rd via Telefono (Digital), ORG Music (Physical), and Modern Sky (China). Pre-orders for vinyl will be available here.
