New video for Lil Silva's forthcoming Mabel EP makes this writer feel bad

Last month, British producer Lil Silva announced a new EP titled Mabel, set for an August release through True Panther/Good Years. It will consist of his own productions and, for the first time, his own vocal performances. Also last month, I made a lil silly about Lil Silva’s cute name and the variety of his accomplishments — ranging from a Sampha collaboration to the construction of some admirable building block towers.

No slight intended — this man writes top music — but, even so, I felt a bit bad watching the newly released video for the EP’s title track. Directed by video artist and photographer Laura Coulson, it hovers over childhood memories and puts a point on the track’s intent, which is as a dedication to Silva’s grandmother. Evocative, sincere, all those things — keep an eye on this EP.
