Video: Moses Sumney, ‘Lonely World’

Wherever music’s astral plane is, Moses Sumney resides a few floors higher, looking down, probably sadly. Up there, it’s a “Lonely World,” as the L.A. singer-songwriter and vocal acrobat cries in the song from his new EP, “Lamentations,” out today. Tyler Givens stars in director Sam Cannon’s video for the song, writhing in the fetal position, alone with four other versions of himself. Unlike his previous mini-releases, the song sees Sumney getting out of his bedroom — it was co-produced by Gueorgui Linev (Kan Wakan) and Joshua Willing Halpern, who along with Tosin Abasi contributes guitar to the track, which is pushed along by Thundercat’s bass. A full-length from Sumney (currently touring with James Blake) could arrive next year, and based on his home recordings and this, it could sound like anything. It’s likely to be a high note.
