After years of playing in bands such as Dreamwheel, Light of the Morning Star, and Restless Ghosts, Paris by way of Los Angeles artist Julia Gaeta released their debut single “Weight of You’ yesterday.

For the single, Gaeta worked with producer James “Perturbator” Kent. The track’s accompanying music video, which can be seen below, was directed by David Fitt, who worked with acts such as Death Alley, Svart Crown, and King Dude. Gaeta said this about the song and visual:

“‘The song 'Weight of You' brings the listener into a tempting world with no clear resolution. It’s really about the alluring addiction to painful love, whether with a person or a thing. If that something you love is broken, all you want to try to do is fix it. But it never works. This first single happens to be a little more in the chill, trip-hop vein without the more structured guitars, but make no mistake - this project isn’t limited to that sound. I think what unites everything is a marriage of heavier atmosphere with vocal hooks. I enjoy traditional pop structure songwriting with non-traditional sounds, industrial textures and a mix of both the gritty and ethereal.
The video was shot in the Pigalle neighborhood of Paris, famous for its sex clubs and cocktail bars. Director David Fitt and I share a love for David Lynch and his hazy, dreamlike worlds of cabaret and sensual darkness. So the video is an homage to Lynch and Paris’s mix of grit and beauty, which always blows my mind and has helped me articulate, musically, the themes and songs from my upcoming EP.”

“Weight of You” is on digital services right now. More information about Gaeta’s forthcoming EP will be revealed soon.
