LIMBLIFTER DEBUT VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “HAYSTACK ROCK”
LITTLE PAYNE OUT OCTOBER 31 VIA WE ARE BUSY BODIES RECORDS
Limblifter debuts the video for the single “Haystack Rock” today, from their upcoming 5th studio album Little Payne, out October 31 on We Are Busy Bodies Records. Produced by songwriter, singer, guitarist Ryan Dahle, the eclectic, genre-spanning new LP features a variety of notable collaborators including mind-bending sax solos from three time GRAMMY nominated and David Bowie Blackstar bandleader Donny McCaslin.
The video for “Haystack Rock” was primarily shot on a Southern Gulf Island, BC farm in a barn built in 1913. Band members Megan Bradfield and Ryan Dahle spend most of their time on this island where Megan’s 19-year-old nephew Max Wentzlaff (Minty Productions) was visiting from Ontario to shoot the video early one summer day, catching all the morning light through the gaps in the barn boards. In colourful contrast to the bucolic farm setting of the video, footage of Eric J. Breitenbach playing drums in his neighbourhood alley in East Vancouver was captured by Eric’s longtime visual collaborator, Shane Morgan.
Says Dahle, “The farm belongs to our friends and once a year they ring me up and ask me to lend a hand with hay baling in the spring, so I’ve spent a lot of time lifting hay off the fields, riding their trailer into the barn and stacking bales. The song was written a couple of years before I started to help with baling, and it’s always repeating in my head when I work. Because of this, the song floated to the top of the list of songs to include on our new record.”
Like much of the Little Payne record, this song idea was originally recorded during long jam sessions back in Ryan’s studio in East Vancouver with Ryan and drummer Eric J. Breitenbach. “Eric and I have committed a mountain of musical ideas to hard drives. It’s a daunting task to sift through and find the little moments of potential songs, but “Haystack Rock’s” chorus stuck in my head. The melody and lyrics were inspired by a trip to a place on the Oregon coast called “Haystack Rock”, says Dahle.
