Though he once led the more pop-leaning Butterflies, Carrboro’s Josh Kimbrough is taking his songs in a new direction as Teardrop Canyon. His first new track, titled “Let It Rest,” is a catchy, crunchy tune that’s got a bit of a bite to it.
A tight, chugging rhythm section powers “Let It Rest,” with a few surfy guitar parts lending additional intrigue. But for all the song’s directness, the video is a dizzying, dim journey that follows Kimbrough winding through a house.
Colorful lights flash and fade, combining with blurring effects and the camera’s natural movement to a swimmy, interesting end.There’s an eerie moment, too, when animated red eyes float and tremble in the darkness before Kimbrough reappears.
