Washington D.C. singer-songwriter Lauren Calve has delivered a special live video for their latest single "Subtle Alchemy.”

Calve said this about the stripped-down performance video, which can be seen below:

“’Subtle Alchemy’ is the trailblazer of the record and is most representative of where I’m headed sonically and thematically. I wrote the music and lyrics while observing my surroundings from my dining room table on a quiet Winter morning. The process was a kind of open-eyed meditation; every observation became another line in the song. At the time, I was immersed in reading about alchemy and its relevance in the modern age. While observing the dynamism of my surroundings, I felt that the melting snow, smoke dissipating into the atmosphere– even love itself– were all forms of alchemy. I wanted to create a stripped down, stylized video for the song that would reflect this. I have a home planetarium and always wanted to use it in one of my videos. The two seemed to be a perfect match! The projection of constellations onto my basement wall along with the colorful lighting really highlight the song’s underlying message that there is alchemy, or magic, happening all around us, all the time.”

"Subtle Alchemy" is taken from Calve’s upcoming album Shift, which will be released this Friday (September 1). Pre-saves for the album can be made here.
