Kevin Godley has released a new video “Expecting a Message” from his highly anticipated forthcoming solo album MUSCLE MEMORY!
“This is as DIY as it gets. No film crew, no editor, no budget. The
plan was to make a film, stream of consciousness style, doing
everything myself, like I’m recording music. Improvise, throw stuff in
and make sense of it later and I did…all except the last bit. I guess
it’s a performance film of sorts, all shot within a hundred yard radius
of home and, at the risk of this sounding like a commercial, it would’ve
been impossible without my iPhone X, Adobe Premier Pro and Wondershare
Filmora editing software and two supremely cool apps, GlitchCam and
EFEKT. Not sure if it’s the message I was expecting though.” - KG
MUSCLE MEMORY marks Kevin’s first time fronting a project. His lyricism is cutting, political and provides a mood similar to film dialogue over classic pop lyricism. Gun control, societal unrest, racism and questions regarding political correctness make for some of the most striking lyrical content likely heard on an alternative pop record. This is a dark record from someone not known for dark themes.
Kevin’s career features numerous exceptional albums and sees him as one of the most important pioneers of the pop music video. MUSCLE MEMORY is a fitting addition to this body of work, offering a provoking, daring new insight into Godley’s creative practice. Tracks from the album will be released in order every two weeks until the album's release on the 17th of December 2020.
