Have you heard the latest track from Small Black? “Boys Life” comes from the upcoming release of Best Blues, out October 16, 2015 on Jagjaguwar.
The album, simply put, is about loss. The specific loss of precious people in our lives, but also the loss of memories and the difficult fight to preserve them. Musically, the band finds their sweet spot: the smoky intersection of considered & vulnerable songwriting and loose, almost nonchalant ambience.

“No Stranger” by Small Black. Created by Mandy Mandelstein and Addison Mehr, the video reveals itself slowly and in surprising ways. Two strangers notice each other on a train, but this is not a simple boy-meets-girl story. The “what-if” fantasy (what if I said hello? what if we went on a road trip?) folds in on reality and slowly unravels into wanton destruction and debauchery.
