Premiere: Blake Bigfoot Shares New Video For 'SAWTOOTH'
New EP STYROFOAM FOR YOUR STOMACH Out now
January 19, 2024
Today, indie singer/songwriter and producer Blake Bigfoot shares his debut EP, STYROFOAM FOR YOUR STOMACH. Bigfoot began while collaborating with a number of up-and-coming producers and working as a producer himself while crafting the songs that make up his new EP. As he describes it, the EP chronicles his past three years, including both a difficult breakup and his introduction to the music industry. Today, to accompany the new release, he's also sharing a new video for one of the record's highlights, “SAWTOOTH,” premiering on Under the Radar.
“SAWTOOTH” is a sad and contemplative effort, carried by felt mid-tempo guitars and tuned, elliptical melodies. Bigfoot's vocals initially lean into the track's reflective tone, but later take a more passionate turn, bringing out a bitter and frustrated undercurrent to the track. Meanwhile, Bigfoot's lyrics follow a complicated, fading relationship, one that finds him torn between his relationship with two people. The track builds to its final moments, with Bigfoot confessing, “It's scary how much I love you both/Breaking up feels like slitting my throat.”
Bigfoot says of the track, “Whenever you're involved with someone, it's really easy to imagine a lifetime with them. I have married so many people in my mind. And sometimes these entanglements overlap or lag, sometimes you bite off more than you can chew. Have you ever loved two people at the same time? How do you choose? If you choose one, you destroy the other. How do you know if you chose the right one? I don't think we have fully understood love, I think there are some bugs in the system. What is the best case scenario here? Do you get old and see one of them die? I have my reservations.”
