Accessory – “Safeword”

Last month, Dehd's Jason Balla announced Dust, his debut solo album as Accessory. The Chicago musician shared the exquisite lead single "Calcium," which we enjoyed very much. Now he's back with "Safeword."

"With 'Safeword' I wanted you to feel the pull of gravity," Balla explains. "It's about getting lost into someone else's world, about being consumed and out of your depth. It's a whole mess of power and passion, pursuit and magic and the resilience that love requires of you."

"The video is shot in the studio room where I recorded the record," he adds. "In it I'm constantly being pulled apart and reassembled which was a way to play with the idea of how intimacy reshapes us, sometimes in ways we don't quite recognize.”
