Earlier this year, Sophia Knapp (Lights/Cliffie
Swan) released her debut solo album, Into The Waves,
on Drag City. Into The Waves is a pop vocal record
of our time, reminiscent of melodic psych pop of the 60's, Tropicalia ballads,
chilly '80s New York dance records, and the seduction of Stevie Nicks or
Françoise Hardy. After releasing the video for "In Paper," Sophia
now shares "The Right Place" video. The video, which premiered
yesterday via PAPER, was
co-directed by Dave Bryant and Ryan
Hennesse.
WATCH/SHARE/POST SOPHIA KNAPP'S "THE RIGHT
PLACE" VIDEO:
Sophia says "The Right Place" is about feeling
alienated by external and internal sources - either from moving and feeling
like a stranger in a new location, or physical changes that bring about feeling
of disorientation. Sophia actually wrote the song while in recovery from eye
surgery. Her outside world was distorted - one eye crystal clear and one fuzzy.
As told to PAPER, "the song also references a time when I
lived in Central America when I was 13, in the jungle, and enduring the horrors
of puberty. I retreated to my fantasies, listening obsessively to cassette
tapes of David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, etc., in fact constructing my own
psychic reality very different from my physical circumstances. The goth makeup
draws a reference to this fantasy."
