It’s changes and dynamics are crucial to it’s magic. “We wanted to pull the arrow back a little further before we let it fly. Music is a liner art form. “This album was different by design,” explains principal writer, vocalist and guitarist Jefferson Angell. Videos for the album’s first two singles, “ The Value of Zero” and “ What Did You Expect?” can be seen now on the band’s official YouTube page. There you have it: ‘Divine Intervention,’ a glorious 12:30 minutes.”ĭue out February 5 via Carry On Music, THE LIGHT BELOW is now available for pre-order HERE. As Angell explained to, “We just showed up and allowed ourselves to be carried away, the song was originally one piece and we broke it into two for the record (‘Divine Intervention’ and ‘Stood Up At The Gates of Heaven’) and when we were editing the video, we decided to put it back as one for an extended art piece. It’s actually a combination of two new songs from THE LIGHT BELOW that were brought together for the David Lynch-inspired clip. It premiered yesterday on Classic Rock magazine’s website,, and can be seen on the band’s official YouTube page now. The video, which clocks in at 12:30, was directed By Boredom Killing Business with Cory Ingram, Konstantin Komarov and Bob Wayne and shot in the band’s hometown of Seattle. WALKING PAPERS (frontman Jefferson Angell and keyboard player/longtime collaborator Benjamin Anderson) is ringing in the new year with the release of their third single and video, “Divine Intervention,” from their highly anticipated third album, THE LIGHT BELOW, on all digital outlets. After making three epic videos, we wanted to cut loose and have a good time.WALKING PAPERS RELEASE NEW TRACK AND VIDEO, “DIVINE INTERVENTION,” FROM FORTHCOMING THIRD ALBUM, ‘THE LIGHT BELOW,’ DUE OUT FEBRUARY 5 VIA CARRY ON MUSIC “It’s a question we can only answer for ourselves, compounded by the pressure that we may not know if we made the right decision until there is no time left to do anything about it. “‘Creation Reproduction and Death’ was a song written contemplating how much time we have left, how we will spend it, and who we will spend it with,” Jeff Angell told P&W. Right in time with Anderson’s orchestral keys (which Angell discussed in our recent interview ), Walking Papers meld with their own engrossing sound and visibly have a blast. With its classic Walking Papers musings (“When I offered the crown, you just cast it aside / I tried to nail the door shut, but you were already inside”) and cliffhangers (“I’ll hang my shame on the wire / Should I pull the alarm or pour more gas on the fire?”), it’s a song that embodies their intensity. As if you’re glimpsing something forbidden, the video’s racy parts happen in quick flashes during the chorus, which goes, “You said you’d hold me ‘til there was nothing left / You said ‘You don’t know who you’re fucking with’…” Whenever Angell smashes the camera with his guitar, he also changes the scene: Anderson is suddenly rocking fishnets and pumps while riding his keyboard, Andrews is beating a singular drum with hilarious solemnity, and Angell is thrashing in a black undershirt and suggestive leather mask. As Angell sings ever so coolly – “I had the feeling you were dirty but you didn’t know it / If I got under your skin, I bet you wouldn’t show it…” – he slides into view on a vintage sofa in front of murky pink clouds, navigating a maze of both mannequin and bandmate faces. Close-ups of Andrews’ drumming and Angell’s guitar work seep through blue Staticland -y TV screens, mingling with rose-colored clips of destruction: storms tearing down houses and bending trees until they nearly snap. Walking Papers’ Jeff Angell, Benjamin Anderson, and Will Andrews are seen wearing TV heads, gorilla suits, gas masks, high heels, cowboy hats, and other wild attire (we’ll let you guess who dons what) as they set the scene for this scorcher.Ī stylish and grungy collage directed by The Boredom Killing Business with Cory Ingram, Konstantin Komarov, and Bob Wayne, the “Creation Reproduction and Death” video matches the song’s dark yet playful energy. The work of art that goes with The Light Below ’s “Creation Reproduction and Death” is laden with rock-out moments and even some risqué surprises. Their latest video is packed with personality and it’s a real treat to premiere it today. We’re proud that one of our favorite bands, Walking Papers, keep pulling off the latter. Sometimes you get a music video sometimes you get a rich audio-visual collision that you want to rewatch every time you hear the song.
