JERRY LEGER ANNOUNCES NEW LP NOTHING PRESSING + SHARES VIDEO FOR FIRST TRACK “HAVE YOU EVER BEEN HAPPY?”
LATENT RECORDINGS
Jerry Leger has been making the most of his time while off the road due to the pandemic. In 2020 Leger published his first book of poetry Just the Night Birds, made a film for his mailing list subscribers The Apartment Show He Never Gave, while releasing what he terms a “surprise” album, Songs from the Apartment.
Today, Leger announces his upcoming album, Nothing Pressing, out March 16, 2022 via Latent Recordings, and is sharing the new video for album single, “Have You Ever Been Happy?”. “The opening line (‘break in the new world but let me keep my job’) is hopeful, it’s actually quite a hopeful song,” says Leger. “I like to think that real happiness involves being respectful, appreciative and considerate. The words have these deeper layers and questions but Angie Hilts singing with me really lifts it up to a nice place. It’s just fun and fortunate to play rock ‘n’ roll with my friends and we’ve all needed some fun these days.”
Video director Colin Medley says, “The concept for this video was simple: show everything leading up to a standard music video type performance, without really showing the performance at all. I think we were all feeling like making something fun and casual, and showing off the sense of camaraderie among friends who haven’t been together in a while. The clincher for me was when Jerry mentioned he lived across the street from a bowling alley. From there it came together in about 5 seconds.”
