Toronto's Seth Nyquist, a.k.a. MorMor, has released his laid-bare debut LP. In honour of the occasion, he's also shared a new Adrian Villagomez-directed music video for album track "Here It Goes Again."
Semblance follows two EPs: 2019's Some Place Else and 2018's Heaven's Only Wishful. Nyquist largely recorded the full-length during the lockdown days of the pandemic, an isolation which is captured in the raw depth and ruminative pacing of the project.
"Semblance is an album that took its time to come together," the artist said in a statement. "It gave me the opportunity to reflect on things I would have otherwise run away from. That's what keeps me coming back. I hope that spending time with Semblance will offer you joy and serenity in reflection."
Of the new video, Nyquist added: "'Here It Goes Again' is a song about the desire to recapture the honeymoon phase of a relationship that is otherwise falling apart. When working out the direction for the 'Here It Goes Again' video, Adrian and I wanted some way of visualizing what it felt like to be captured in an endless cycle. The song encapsulates the concept of attempting to recapture the honeymoon phase, while in reality the relationship is falling apart; so we felt it best to represent that by creating an ever evolving loop."
