Nathaniel Paul released the second single off of his sophomore album, Turpentine, which drops in the spring of 2022.
Michigan City, Indiana- native Nathaniel Paul is a singer-songwriter and producer from the Emmy award-winning band The Bergamot, with whom he went on tour after a move to NYC. A multi-instrumentalist with a classical guitar background, he writes and performs all of the elements of his productions.
His latest release, the titular single, “Turpentine,” premiered on Obscure Sound on January 21.
“The song lyrics start with ‘Take me off that assembly line,’ referring to the state of homogeneity that has been created through the overconsumption of news, social media, and the internet at large. The song hopes to take a look at what we are going through as a culture,” Paul says.
The video was shot while Paul hung upside down on monkey bars, flipping the perspective.
“I almost died shooting this video,” states Paul. “I thought it wasn’t going to be all that bad. But when you’re actually hanging upside down, it really gives you tunnel vision,” he laughs. “But honestly, we live in a world of chemicals and things trying to kill us all the time, and I thought this was the perfect way to convey the message of the song.”
