Calgary’s Hermitess Releases New Thought-Provoking Video

Hermitess is the solo project of songwriter, visual artist and harpist Jennifer Crighton. Dreaming simultaneously in music and images, her projects are often approached with the sensibility of curator, intent on a carefully imagined collection of collaborators, stories and set pieces.

Tower, Hermitess’ new three-song EP, was written as a natural follow up to the Hermitess self titled release. If the Hermitess debut record was about wanting to run into the forest and disappear, Tower’s narrative is about coming to terms with the reality of modern life.

Lead single, “Followers,” plays with questions of the artificiality inherent in having an online presence, the deal we make with our own devils to do so, and what we wager for better or worse in those transactions. The accompanying “Followers” music video tackles the distorting influence of social media on time and on relationships.
