The video for Trapdoor Social’s single “All” crystallizes the song’s emotional outpouring — an attempt by songwriter Skylar Funk to unburden himself from the weight of regret.
With the stylish video for “Whispers” premiering today, Trapdoor Social’s Skylar Funk draws a parallel between his band’s climate change activism and the racial justice protests he’s attended. The “Whispers” have turned to shouts.
