The latest single from L.A. indie duo Western Scene is about perception. Because no matter how hard you try, sometimes you “See What You Want To.” The song, self-produced by Western Scene main man Tom Pritchard in his studio in Beachwood Canyon, shifts from the glossier pop-rock on their 2013 EP to some agile retro-soul. And the video is an eye-opener too — it’s the work of Emily Wilder, frontwoman of L.A. rockers Wet & Reckless. The stop-motion affair, which includes some nifty handmade wooden characters, was made entirely on an iPhone 6, with Wilder riffing on the themes in the song. Postscript: During the making the video, Pritchard and Wilder began writing songs together, and some will appear on Western Scene’s forthcoming EP.
