Portland-based duo Corvair shared the lyric video for Unsubtle Lake<\/em>, the latest pre-release single from their forthcoming album. The band will release their self-titled, debut album on February 19 via Paper Walls<\/a> in the U.S. and WIAIWYA<\/a> in the UK (pre-order<\/a>). The record includes work with drummer Eric Eagle (Jesse Sykes, Wayne Horvitz) and engineer Martin Feveyear (Brandi Carlile, Mark Lanegan, Mudhoney), who also mixed the record. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video was directed, filmed and edited by Brian Naubert of Corvair. Unsubtle Lake<\/em> was one of the last songs recorded on the album, so the band permitted themselves to be looser and more spontaneous as they overdubbed this track in their home studio during the first COVID shutdown of Spring 2020. They pulled out instruments from deep in the closet, including Brian’s vintage orange Flying V, some kids’ bongos that they then phased and distorted, and an old percussion “frog” that has appeared on many of Heather’s records over the years. The song is a retelling of a first encounter. Heather explains, “It’s so strange that you usually don’t have the luxury of knowing that you’re experiencing a moment that is going to totally change your life. This song was us playing out the fantasy of total omniscience, being able to go back to a crucial scene and watch it unfold again, knowing the butterfly effect that was starting right then and there.” <\/em>Watch the lyric video via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
