Watch “I Root (Trio Version)” premiere via Paste Magazine 

Michael Nau shared a new video featuring a trio version of “I Root” from his surprise EP, The Load, released in September.

On the recording process for “I Root (Trio Version)”, Nau said “I Root” was recorded in Burlington, late night in Benny Yurco’s studio, Little Jamaica. The strings were done later at Sound Loom. We did a few songs in this trio arrangement…this is the only one that stuck. I like this version as a sort of standalone, but it didn’t seem to work with the overall vibe of Some Twist, so we used the full band version for that record.”

From Paste: “The new video for the trio version matches the songs soft sentiment. Bathed in magic hour light and shot with an aspect ratio that just whispers nostalgia, the video illustrates the purest elements of a father-son relationship. In fewer than three minutes, the acoustic track—made weightless by its string accompaniment—and idyllic imagery make a brief, needed respite from this world.”
