In what amounts to one of the biggest changes yet for his music, Ryan Hobler‘s latest single ‘See What You’re Doing To Me’ leaves behind many of the Jazz trappings of his earlier work, trading in 9th chord extensions for a breezier, bluesier tone. Picture every member of Local Natives coming together as an acoustic guitar-playing, highly emotive force of nature… and you’re close.
Hobler’s highly personal music has always been as joyful as it is mournful, and with this new single it’s as surprising as ever. Check out the new video below, and see how much eye shadow he was able to apply for this strange walk through the woods. See Ryan Hobler live at Rockwood Music Hall on 02.20. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
