Video: Nudge, “War Song”
- story THE FADER
Gentle voiced Honey Owens (aka Valet) has coupled strum with leather drum twang for the group Nudge, who she often appears with. In this video for “War Song,” Owens wanders empires of vanity and McDonalds, interspersed with footage of bombs and a masked guitar player. Is this protest music or dejected acceptance? We’ll get back to you on that one.

Here’s a little insight into today: we drank too much coffee. This isn’t necessarily out of the ordinary, but when you realize that you basically drank a 40 oz. worth of coffee, shit gets weird. Besides downing water, we’ve been playing this live Dublab podcast of Brian Foote aka Nudge’s calming, ambient and flute-laden set. Although improvised, the set follows the same basic map as the one that Foote played while opening up for Stars of the Lid on their most recent tour, and it’s kinda long, which means we can put it on and lay down and nap away the coffee jitters.

Apparently today is a totally blissed out Monday because between this and the Quiet Village video a couple posts down we are laying on the floor and feeling the good vibes and actually just beaming these blog posts into the computer. Anyway, Nudge is comprised of main Kranky dude Brian Foote, Paul Dickow and Honey Owens aka F52 Gen-F-er Valet, and besides being really shimmery and relaxing (there are hand drums!) this song is actually really catchy. Check it out below.
