VIDEO: "Moonlight" by Message to Bears

I fell in love with this track last December, shortly after Jerome Alexander as Message to Bears released his third album, Maps. "Moonlight" is the first music video from the record, shot by Beanpole Productions's Benjamin Dowie and starring Sophie Milera.

If the baroque acoustic guitar and handclaps aren't captivating enough on their own, the costuming, Dowie's cinematography, Milera's beauty, the lighting, the landscapes... everything here really nails it in.

I'm in love again.

A human experience, through audio.

Despite its title, the Drop covers all genres, including EDM. It focussed primarily on the local Toronto scene until 2013, after which most of my written music coverage shifted to The B-Side, a publication friends and I founded at UC Berkeley. During that time, this page has held more poetry and personal musings, but as of 2017, I'm back to covering what I did best here -- new and unique sounds.
