Singer and musician Julia Shapiro is scheduled to release her new album Zorked on October 15th via the Suicide Squeeze label. To coincide with the announcement, Shapiro has also dropped a new video to coincide with her single ‘Wrong Time’. Directed by Colby Makin, the analog visuals are collaged footage of Julia doing random things around her area of L.A.
Touching on the ‘Wrong Time’, Julia Shapiro mentioned:
“”I wrote this song in June 2020, after fully coming to terms with the fact that I was now living in LA during a seemingly never-ending global pandemic. This song is about being cursed, but not fully admitting it—fighting hard to keep your life together, against all odds, and cursing yourself even further in the process.”
Regarding the video, director Colby Makin added:
“‘Wrong Time’ visualises the internal feedback loop of stuck-at-home limbo. Once vaccinated, Julia and I spent a lazy afternoon filming some of her typical 2020 day-to-day routines: puttering in her room, scooting around the neighborhood, playing guitar on her bed. I then holed myself in my own room, experimenting with our footage using an analog video mixer and some old camcorders. The result was a surprisingly ambient collage of textures and clouds. Julia is leading the way, but the video ended up feeling more like a collective reflection of those drifty days we all shared from afar. By the end I found a warm comfort in all the blue!”
