Watch: Sophie Auster – “Square Moon”
The ubiquitous Antony Hegarty has a hand in the new track from American singer/songwriter Sophie Auster, premiering today on Best Fit.
-“Square Moon”, co-written by Auster and Hegarty along with collaborator Barry Reynolds, is ripe with the European influences that stretch back to the 25-year old’s first record, inspired by her writer father’s translations of French surrealist poems.
“The video is inspired by Bunuel’s early collaborations with Salvador Dali like L’age D’or and Un Chien Andalou, Man Ray photographs, and Paris,” explains Auster. “The song…has a very surreal and atmospheric mood, so Julia Pearl Robbins and I tried our best to create a video that did the song justice.
“We shot in our respective homes, in restaurants, and a band rehearsal in Brooklyn before one of my shows. We made the video for zero dollars and had a great time.”
Auster’s has a second longplayer (Dogs & Men) in the works and makes a rare appearance at London’s Sebright Arms on 17 November with Young Unknowns.
