Helene Greenwood releases Spindrift Road official video
To mark the release of her debut album, Helene Greenwood will be giving away her new single, ‘Spindrift Road’ as a free download, available from her website on October 28 – the day her album, ‘Collectable You’ is also released.
With its experimental instrumentation, echoing the Rain Dogs-era of Tom Waits – the result of Helene going for a 60’s influenced sound with Jazz overtones, ‘Spindrift Road’ resonates with an intriguing amount of musical obscurity, from the melodic soft fuzzed vocals to dynamic arrangements that carry the track like a well written story.
The video follows this story-like abstraction, using clever imagery of all things shrouded in bewilderment and mystery, utilising clips of gambling, tarot cards and circus attractions to make the perfect compliment to the song’s unique sound.
“I want to take people on a journey with my music and make them visit places they wouldn’t normally expect to go,” says North London’s Helene.
‘Spindrift Road’ is the second single to be taken from Helene’s album “Collectable You”, released 28 October. Calum MacColl takes the role as producer while also playing on the album, accompanied by world roots drummer Martyn Barker (Billy Bragg/Beth Gibbons), James Hallawell (The Waterboys) on keyboards and the atmospheric bass playing of Arnulf Lindler (KT Tunstall).
“I cannot wait for people to hear my message and music/ It’s been a long time coming.”
