Following the recent release of her gorgeous, internationally-praised (by outlets such as NPR, Talkhouse, Hype Machine & more) sophomore album Meet Me at the Gloaming via Father/Daughter Records (US) & Hand In Hive (UK), today A.O. Gerber has shared a moody, chiaroscuro-inflected video for cathartic track “Walk In The Dark”.
Speaking on the track and video A.O. Gerber says: “This song started out a very literal ode to my love of night walks. But through the writing process it turned into a metaphor about welcoming my own darkness and being willing to walk alongside it despite the parts of me that would rather run away. I knew I wanted this video to represent both the literal and metaphorical, so filming it in my bedroom and the neighborhood in LA where I’ve gone on so many walks in the dark felt really fitting.“
A.O. Gerber will also perform in Brooklyn, NY tonight at Union Pool. Tickets are available HERE.
The album includes singles "Only Mystery"(video here), "For" (video here), "Hunger" (video here), and "Looking For The Right Things" (video here), all of which come with beautifully thought out cinematic videos.
Meet Me at the Gloaming is certainly an album that pierces grief head-on but it’s not without hope or certainty. Like curtains strong enough to block the view, but thin enough to let in the light, Gerber is reclaiming the meaning of goodness, where the harsh overwhelming brightness is dimmed to a beautiful, iridescent blue. During the gloaming we are between two spaces, two worlds, two selves and it’s here that we can fully embrace everything that we are.
