Blake Mills shared the single, “Summer All Over.” The song will appear on Mills’ upcoming album, Mutable Set, arriving on May 8 via New Deal Records/Verve.
“Summer All Over” comes in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and, along with an accompanying video, comments on climate change. Directed by Kersti Jan Werdal, the video utilizes footage from the documentary The Living Stone, which features Baffin Island Inuit Indigenous peoples.
“The video explores their system of art making as an act of sharing social-ecological knowledge,” Mills said in a statement, “something that also ties in thematically to the lyrics in ‘Summer All Over.’”
“Respecting the Inuit peoples in the archival material was the first priority for both Blake and myself in the edit,” Werdal added. “We aimed to respect the ritual depicted along with the subjects, while aligning the music to each moment with regards to rhythm, tone, and lyric. Roula Nassar’s corporeal and surreal sculptures expand the ideas presented, adding an imagined future to the narrative.”
