Reba Meyers continues to build anticipation for her forthcoming solo debut with the release of “Clouded World,” the album’s ripping title track and third single.
The accompanying video, directed by Sanford Worth and Tony Aguilera, features cameos from Myles Ulrich (Taipei Houston) and solo artist Lola Colette.
The song was recorded by the late Steve Albini at Electrical Audio, just six months before his passing. “Steve championed the medium of physical recordings, and that process inherently encourages the commitment to imperfection,” says Reba. “I hope to embrace the randomness and grit of life, which includes our imperfections, as both their beauty and ugliness are often able to both inspire and teach us about our inner workings.”
On the meaning behind “Clouded World,” she continues: “Too many aspects of the modern human condition feel entirely over-labored and orchestrated. We have drifted far from our primal instincts and have gotten so distracted by the myriad tools at our fingertips that we forget that our human imperfections are the one thing that makes us special and unpredictable.”
Both of her previously released singles have showcased a different side of her musical range, from the ‘90s-inspired alt-rock of “Certain Uncertainty” (featuring Gil Sharone on drums and a video shot by Greg Puciato) to the moody, electronic “Got Your Hold On Me” mixed by Steve Evetts (The Cure, The Wonder Years). Revolver has called the tracks “anthemic,” while Knotfest declared them proof that Reba is “an undeniable solo force.”
Alongside the single, Reba announces her debut solo tour, kicking off on Aug. 12 with stops in major U.S. cities. Ninth Cage (featuring members of Year of the Knife) and artist/writer Kimi Malka Hanauer support on select dates. Tickets are on-sale this Friday at 10 a.m. local time at Rebameyers.com/shows.
