This past Friday, New York anti-folk artist Mal Blum unveiled not just her fifth studio album ‘You Look A Lot Like Me’ but the unabashedly playful music video (streaming below) for album track "Robert Frost." Featuring the artist passing the time with her own dog (and periodically imitating it) while hanging out with friends on a sunny day, the co-directed visuals read as a thinker’s day off, Blum acknowledging the titular poet’s existential questions while enjoying some downtime. As revealed in a moving blog post, her latest release "came from a bad place, and an incessant desire to be understood and connect with people," and this bright clip is perhaps the fruit of that struggle.
