The video for Robert Ascroft’s song “Where Did You Go” features vocalist Britta Phillips (Luna, Dean & Britta) driving down a lonely highway in black and white looking troubled while a less troubled version of herself occasionally seems to taunt her from the passenger seat. The song itself reflects this noir image with a light buzz of guitar and echoing piano lines with a slinky bass line that accents the steady percussion hitting the beats like the images of the dashed lines of the highway streaming behind the image. At some point the troubled Britta, who has been driving, disappears and the other Britta gets a moment of thrilled panic. The song itself seems to be about haunted insecurity and dissociation while contemplating the aspect of oneself that seemed to be able to hold it together and act with confidence and clear thought—about feeling lost and and not quite oneself to the point where you feel adrift from the course of your own life. The song is one of the singles from Ascroft’s forthcoming album Echo Still Remains is out January 31, 2025 via Hand Drawn Dracula which promises plenty of stories of contemplative melancholy and sorting through memory and the neglected places in the heart.
