Greg Mendez's Beauty Land — that's a record to be excited about. It arrives in exactly one month and one day from today, and we've heard the singles "I Wanna Feel Pretty," "Gentle Love," and "Frog." Today the Philly singer-songwriter is sharing another great preview called "No Evil."
"A lot of the time I feel locked inside my own head, or maybe it's inside all these screens. I’m not sure if I can tell the difference anymore," Mendez explains. "This song isn't about that, at least not in the 'about' sense. It's not trying to explain or show that in particular, it's more coincidental. Like how a landscape painting can show the sky without being 'about' the sky. It can just happen to be there."
Mendez has a way of capturing the interior in a vivid, tangible way, like when he sings of "pacing up and down the block inside my head." The sparse sound of the song adds to the feeling of loneliness. It comes with a music video was directed by TAGABOW's Douglas Dulgarian; watch below.
Beauty Land is out 5/29 via Dead Oceans.
