New York, NY (Top40 Charts) New Jersey-native Caine Casket has released the official video to his atmospheric single "Bil•lows" ahead of his forthcoming EP, "NineNights". Co-directed by Godfred Sedano and Caine, the rising emcee channels '90s nostalgia while showcasing his genre-defying sound.
The moody visuals take us back in time with throwback cultural and musical influences, complete with mixtapes, turntable and a drum pad. Using muted tones and VHS filters, Caine creates an analog world in his bedroom as he attempts to tune out what he calls distractions from "the cloud".
"This is an intimate reflection of my creative process. The bedroom represents the walls of my mind as I find my way through these social clouds surrounding us," said Caine. "In this digital age, it's hard to remove ourselves from the noise just to get a glimpse of who we actually are. 'Bil·lows' is about rising above those clouds -- whether online or off."
Produced by D. Sanders & Raava, "Bil•lows" is as much a creative statement as it is a showcase of Caine's "avant garde hip-hop meets progressive soul" sound. His lyrical prowess has already been listed as one to watch by Village Voice, which took note of his "soothing melodies and heaven-like metaphors".
