We Owe — the solo project of Brooklyn-based musician Christopher Pravdica (Swans, Xiu Xiu, The Gunga Din, etc) — recently returned with the announcement of his sophomore LP, Major Inconvenience, due this Friday December 1 via Mothland.
Following the recent release of the LP’s first few singles (“Time Suck” and “Illogical Thinking“), now, Pravdica returns with one last single from the record, a sprawling post-rock odyssey entitled “Slight Inconvenience.” The standout track features orchestral sampling by Phil Puleo (Swans, Cop Shoot Cop, Human Impact, etc.), while the track’s accompanying music video was directed by artist Jim Larson – as was the case for lead singles “Time Suck” and “Illogical Thinking.”
As Pravdica wrote on the track: “I did this track instrumental with backing vocals. Trying for a more melodic sound. I was gonna do lyrics, but I found this patient interview that I very much related to, and I dropped it over the music. It fit so well that I was like: ‘Yo, this works!'”
Video director Jim Larson continued: “The song ‘Slight Inconvenience’ contains an audio sample from an actual therapy session with a catatonic schizophrenic from many years ago. So I decided to sample the visual portion of the interview and edit the footage to make a new version to accompany the song.”
