Pictureplane turns in an introspective club song for slow dancing with “Weeping Sky.” In the music video co-directed by Chris Burden we see Travis Egedy dancing on a basketball court while night scenes of New York City including images from dance clubs are layered over him for an aesthetic reminiscent of early 2000s video editing techniques like one would expect from some vintage underground hip-hop music videos with in-camera editing and effects. Egedy’s vocals are lower than one is used to from his earlier work but paired with the nearly downtempo beats and moody atmospheric flourishes as well as the bright, glitch-pop backing vocals it’s the perfect evocation of immediacy mixed with nostalgia and coming to terms with one’s own desires as a human with physical and emotional needs that can be separated by culture and social conditioning. The song is both a reconnecting of Pictureplane as an artist with his early experimental electronic pop songcraft rooted in hip-hop that resonates even today and moving forward into a different direction that feels more mature in approach without compromising a spark of the joy of life and of living and savoring authentic experiences that recharge and restore you.
