Jordan Lee, aka Mutual Benefit, has unveiled a video for Come To Pass.
The track is from Lee's recent folk-pop LP, 'Thunder Follows The Light', the follow up to 2016's 'Skip A Sinking Stone', which hit shelves in September. Discussing the song, he said:
"Come to Pass is a refutation of the idea that there was ever a golden age to return back to. Both personally and politically I’m afraid of this sort of constructed nostalgia that keeps us looking backwards instead of a having a powerful enough imagination to see the hard truths of the present but work towards a better future."
The multi-instrumentalist and producer enlisted director Gabriel Gomez for the visual, who added:
"I wanted to honour both the song’s sonic aesthetics and message. When Jordan and I spoke about the lyrics and the overall narrative, we discussed the notion of relying on the past for answers about the future. History obviously holds wisdom, but it can also act as a tethering for progress. Ultimately, sometimes it’s just as important to let go. I wanted to take those ideas and turn them into a simple, visually-satisfying story featuring a person actively trying to free themselves of the past. And a very wise dog. There’s a lot of really dark shit on our screens these days and I just wanted to make something somewhat whimsical, but with a soulful narrative that everyone can relate to."
Lee will support the record with a UK and Ireland tour starting in late October. Prior to dates in North America, he will call in Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Glasgow, Newcastle, Bristol, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Aberfeldy, Leeds and Bristol.
