Singer/songwriter Zack Villere releases a new track Sore Throat along with an accompanying music video. Much like Villere’s previous material, Sore Throat boasts his trademark vocal delivery and expressive guitar riffs. Instead of relying on percussion, Villere guides the beat using the strumming of his guitar, creating a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere easy to sink into. “Am I falling in love/ Or just falling apart?” he drones, paradoxically at ease with his own existential crisis. Check out the video clip via YouTube below.
The cityscape visuals of the Zack Villere and Dan Streit co-directed music video for Sore Throat complement the song’s pining for human interaction. From construction sites to bustling intersections, Villere attempts to stand out from the surrounding action. His adventures carry him across the city on a motorbike and end much sooner than you expect. Like any cherished moment, it ends up feeling almost too brief to appreciate, something Sore Throat understands all too well.
“With this album and my last, I started building the world in my head before I actually moved forward with the music,” shares Villere. “I was making songs, but until I had a clear image of where it all took place nothing really stuck. The video is meant to represent that world as best as I could with my surroundings. I tried to make a fake city within a city i wanted the process to feel like a kid turning his back yard into another planet for a little short film or something.”
