The mercurial pop artist and sometime film composer Mica Levi has self-released their second surprise album in as many months. Blue Alibi, which you can check out below, follows December’s Ruff Dog, which was billed as their debut full-length as a solo artist.
On the new record, Jonatan Leandoer (aka Yung Lean), Coby Sey, Relax Kevin, and Brother May make appearances, while CURL—a London collective featuring Levi, Sey, and Brother May among others—are credited on two tracks. Today, Levi has shared a video for Blue Alibi track “Waves,” also below. It’s directed by Finnbar Porteous and features a collage of slow imagery: dogs, cyclists, birds, and other things and beings. Of the track, Levi writes in the press release:
Levi’s bounty of music in recent years—which also includes work on last year’s Good Sad Happy Bad album Shades—includes scores for films including Monos (“Monk” from the new album is an offcut from the film) and Jackie. This year, Levi scored a short film by the photographer Nan Goldin.
