Absolutes, the forthcoming EP of New York indie pop act Yoke Lore, due July 27 via Arts & Crafts, explores the grey areas between black and white ideas while building upon the lush, sonic palette of his past works. The new music finds multi-instrumentalist, dancer, and visual artist Adrian Galvin polishing his heartfelt anthems and ruminating on finding balance amid respective oppositions by breaking through the notion that truth necessitates purity.

After recently premiering the first song, “Fake You” from the EP and accompanying video, the Brooklyn-based artist arrives with the gorgeously minimalistic track “Cut and Run”. Take a look.

New York indie pop act Yoke Lore, also known as multi-instrumentalist, dancer, and visual artist Adrian Galvin, has shared the new video for “Fake You” via Billboard, who noted that “the indie pop up-and-comer, shows a vulnerable, somber side of himself in the poignant track.”

“The video plays with the idea of an inside that is outside, of how to bring the outside in,” Galvin tells Billboard. “It’s about literally turning your living space inside out, and by extension, yourself. It’s a simple idea, but we play out a fantasy of introspective exploration that keeps me flipping from inside to outside and back again to find out what remains, what is constant amidst those drastic changes. I look for other parts of me and try on different me’s. I try life in the sun and expose myself and I have time with the moon where I float within the blank space of my own unknowing.”
