Watch Myles Bullen & billy woods’ video for new song “Ordinary Magic”
Myles Bullen is a self-proclaimed "soft rap / art poet" artist from Portland, Maine and he's gearing up to release his new album Mourning Travels on Friday (2/4) via Fake Four Inc (pre-order). The album includes a collaboration with the great billy woods (of Armand Hammer) called "Ordinary Magic," and we're premiering the part-filmed, part-animated video in this post.
"The song is a bridge between the sacred & profane, the whimsical & mundane, finding magic in ordinary life," Myles tells us. "Working with woods has been a wonderful thing. The video was first filmed on Ceschi's iphone in an abandoned mill building in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I drew up the lyrics on a train ride to Maine from New York. Morgans Brother took the song, the lyrics and the footage and made this gorgeous, colorfilled animation. I love it."
On this song, Myles shows off a trippy, abstract delivery that kinda reminds me of R.A.P. Ferreira, and woods counteracts that with a booming, direct verse that's as bulletproof as you'd expect. Listen and watch the video below.
Two other singles are out now (one of them, "Still Be Friends," has almost a singer/songwriter vibe), and the album also features Jesse the Tree, Tark, Hannah Harleen, Sarah Violette, and Emma Ivy. Stream the previous two tracks and view the full tracklist below too.
