SARGEANT X COMRADE Release Music Video For “Love Someone”
Today, Sargeant X Comrade release the music video for “Love Someone”. The new single is part of the Calgary-based duo’s forthcoming album, Lo Fi Future, which arrives July 28 on Mo Gravy Records.
The music video supports the duo’s "Love Someone" Single Remix Pack (available on all streaming platforms) released last week. On creating the single, the duo say: "We wanted to make a throwback soul-house track and put it out with a few remixes for all of the DJs. That way they have an option depending on the vibe. The Remix Pack also includes an Acapella version so that DJs can make their own remixes"
Recorded at the prestigious National Music Centre's synth lab, Lo Fi Future showcases Sargeant X Comrade's innovative approach to music production by utilizing vintage analog synthesizers. The retro equipment served as a wellspring of inspiration for the duo, leading them to conceive a conceptually groundbreaking album that envisions an analog future, a "Lo Fi Future", where the instruments of the past forge the sound of tomorrow. Yolanda Sargeant, one half of the duo, humorously remarks, "In the future, cars don't fly because it's Lo Fi."
Prepare yourself for a mind-bending psychedelic funky ride as Yolanda Sargeant's captivating vocals take listeners on an enthralling journey through time, space, and a myriad of musical styles. Sargeant X Comrade prove yet again that they transcend the boundaries of a singular genre, seamlessly fusing elements of psychedelic funk, soul, hip hop, and house into a futuristic sonic adventure.
Beyond the confines of traditional music, 'Lo Fi Future' has branched out into other creative realms. In collaboration with Arts Commons during 2022-2023, Sargeant X Comrade embarked on a one-of-a-kind venture, creating a talk show series bearing the same name and concept as the album.
Described as "Jimmy Carson in Outer Space", the show featured Yolanda Sargeant as the charismatic host, with Comrade assuming the role of the Astronaut DJ. The series included captivating performances by the full band, engaging guest artists, thought-provoking and humorous video segments.
The album's standout track, "Travelin In Space," was chosen as the theme song for the variety show and was performed by Sargeant X Comrade at the start of each episode. Furthermore, the song was reimagined and performed by the featured band at the end of every unforgettable night. The variety show, which ran at the renowned Engineered Air Theatre, treated sold-out audiences to four unique episodes, each playing over two consecutive nights. The innovative format captivated attendees, creating an immersive experience that left a lasting impression.
With 'Lo Fi Future', Sargeant X Comrade are set to once again captivate and astonish fans with their genre-defying music and imaginative artistry. Stay tuned for the release of 'Lo Fi Future' on July 28th, 2023, and prepare to embark on a cosmic musical odyssey.
