VIDEO: “Elegy” by Leif Vollebekk

Chris / IMF, Videos / leif vollebekk / 0 Comments

Montreal singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Leif Vollebekk has just shared his music video for “Elegy”. The track is the lead single from Leif’s upcoming record ‘Twin Solitude,’ out February 24 on Secret City Records. Directed by Kaveh Nabatian, the “Elegy” video was filmed in a Florida beach town that Leif frequented as a child. During filming, he danced in the dunes through sunset, followed by Nabatian with a camera strapped to him and a speaker attached so they could hear the song. The pair danced up and down the dunes all day, until it got dark and they were kicked off the beach.

– THE BACKSTORY –
Kelp Records is an independent, Canadian record label that was founded by Jon Bartlett in Fredericton, New Brunswick in 1994. Jon moved to Toronto in 1997 and spent two years there (working atExclaim! magazine) before moving to Ottawa. It was at this point that the label really started to grow, building a stable of the Capital’s finest singer-songwriters and bands, including Jim Bryson, The Acorn, Andrew Vincent & the Pirates, HILOTRONS, Camp Radio / Chris Page, Flecton Big Sky, The Flaps and Toronto acts The Michael Parks / Andy Swan. Kelp has released 65 albums over the past 16 years, and is distributed by Outside Music in Canada, Carrot Top in the USA, and Rough Trade in the UK.

This year is KELP 16, and the label has decided to celebrate in three cities (Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal), for the first ever out-of-town Kelp parties. Should be a blast.
