Medium Build (aka Anchorage, Alaska based songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Nick Carpenter) has released his new single, “comeonback” today. The track is accompanied by a self-directed music video shot at Club Paris Restaurant in Anchorage, which can be seen now below.
Produced by Laiko (Peter McPoland, Ben Kessler w/ Lizzy McAlpine), “comeonback” is a tender yet sparse song, which finds Medium Build thinking deeper about the choices he wants and more importantly, needs to make. Medium Build said of the new single, “‘comeonback’ is about friendship, forgiveness and checking our blind spots. I’ve been writing a bunch of love songs to friends and this one is the intersection of ‘I fucked up’ and ‘they fucked up.’ Like how do we proceed when we realize that neither of us are perfect? I used to wanna be perfect in every relationship. I’m learning how to be myself but not give up. Flawed but present.”
Speaking on the video, he added, “I wanted to make a video that highlighted a place I love in Anchorage. This song is about taking an old friend out for drinks to make up. I think safety comes with trust and time. People and places aren’t static. So the bar in the video is a character. A living breathing flawed thing. Just like me and my friendships. Club Paris is one of the legendary places of anchorage. Deserving of being honored, remembered and loved.”
Medium Build will hit the road this September supporting Briston Maroney on his ‘All Aboard Tour.’ Dates can be found below.
