Moses Sumney – “Doomed” Video
Soulful, ambient singer-songwriter Moses Sumney has really made a name for himself in recent years with a series of singles and EPs and a stirring, barebones live show. Today, to mark his signing to indie mainstay Jagjaguwar, he’s sharing the video for a supremely lovely new song called “Doomed.” The whole thing is a dreamlike synthetic swoon topped off by Sumney’s incomparable falsetto, which manages to sound both angelic in its beauty and deeply human in its cracking fragility. Director Allie Avital’s video is just as compelling, framing Sumney in darkly lit underwater shots that eventually turn out to be more alarming than you might expect. Watch below.
“Doomed” is from Sumney’s debut Jagjaguwar full-length. That’s all we know for now, but you can purchase “Doomed” here and catch Sumney on tour all over the world this year:
