Kate Bollinger – Songs From A Thousand Frames of Mind
Kate Bollinger, the Virginia-born, LA-based multidisciplinary artist, releases her kaleidoscopic debut album, Songs From A Thousand Frames Of Mind, today on Ghostly International.
Written during a period of transience and change, Songs From A Thousand Frames Of Mind was made to resemble a mixtape, and casts a collage-like vision that’s instantly memorable and uniquely mystifying. Inspired by the sounds of the 1960s, Bollinger and her band — including collaborators Jacob Grissom, Adam Brisbin, Matthew E. White, and Sam Evian — have crafted a collection of pop songs, polished yet scrappy with an underlying punk spirit, navigating life, relationships, and growing up.
Also out today is a music video for the theatrical focus track, “I See It Now.”
As described by Kate in her diary the day she recorded the song last year: “This song was recorded in two parts. I tried describing part two as being in a loud saloon. Drunk old men sloshing beers, an old guy playing piano in the back of the place. A circus act. When Matt made the point that it sounded like ‘Silly Beatles’, ‘Revolution Beatles’, people seemed to get it then.” Co-written and co-directed by Bollinger herself, alongside Leanna Kaiser, the video is an experimental short inspired by marching bands.
