highlyeccentricCourtesy of a recent subscriber bonus episode (preview here of Gender Reveal, I have discovered Mal Blum, who has a new album out (I think I had previously had their country-ish EP on a list of queer country music that I was slowly working through, but never got to that one). I am enjoying it.
I like this song and was amused by Mal and Tuck discussing people taking it too literaly.
The music video is... weird, though. It seems average-good, close-ups on the singer appropriate to the song. But the group choreography is... weird. Perhaps just "niche indie artist can't afford really cutting edge music video"? But am I wrong in thinking that it felt like the choreographer did not know what kind of person Mal is or whose gaze to showcase them for?
I may have to go back and look at some of Mal's older music videos and form Opinions.
