Surf Harp, the Baltimore/Osaka quintet renowned for their avant-garde art rock, has unveiled their third full-length through Shiny Boy Press, with Precious Decisions serving as the vanguard from their latest offering, Language is Lost. In a visual narrative brought to life through a music video, the band’s enigmatic frontman, Philip Bolton, engages in whimsical dialogue with a diminutive, puppet doppelgänger, ultimately culminating in a profound decision—to collaborate in crafting an exquisite musical composition. This audiovisual journey embarks on an exploration of intimate and introspective realms, inviting contemplation on whether the puppet is a genuine co-creator or merely an introspective mirror reflecting the latent artist. Directed in Baltimore by the visionary quartet of Philip Bolton, Chris Sweeney, Aaron Perseghin, and Ryan Zadera, and meticulously edited by Jeffrey Koplovitz, this offering, although idiosyncratic, stands as an indie rock masterpiece, destined to resonate profoundly with those discerning souls who appreciate its distinctive narrative.
