Los Angeles producer ATOM SMITH returns with a curve-ball of dark and moody downtempo electro swing for late 2019. Guest vocals from the sultry LEILA SODER channel the jazz spirit of diva’s past from Billie Holiday to Ella Fitzgerald in this trip hoppy tribute. We can’t get enough of this in the FS office. The tune is a real grower and (we think) the perfect match for the visuals…
The full album BASS AGE BIG BAND is out now. Listen here: http://www.linkpagebuddy.com/page.php?id=o7YAozmX

About the VIDEO:
We wanted to make a big budget prohibition/speakeasy video for this but nothing we could do would touch the amazing cinematic beauty of ROAD TO PERDITION (2002). Hats off to the truly remarkable atmosphere of the two scenes we borrowed from this film. Please make sure you watch (or re-watch) the original.
Respect and credit to the original copyright owner of the visuals PARAMOUNT PICTURES. Thanks for allowing this use. Full movie credits here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0257044/

STRANGE WEATHER (Featuring Liela Söder)

LYRICS:
My Babies got a bathtub full of moonshine
in the backwoods – doing bad things
Rain clouds gather as the moon climbs
getting darker so we’ll see what that brings
now you hear the floor boards
creaking like some old bones
howling like a wolf pack hunting
I can feel the old stones
underneath the floor boards
moaning like a cold storm coming
It’s always strange weather – whenever we’re together
My baby’s got highboy and a washtub full of gin
It’s such strange weather – whenever we’re together
come around and put the top down and let the moon-shine in
You disappeared without a trace
like the punch line of a bad joke
I can still see your flame
but can’t follow that smoke
Now I’m up like a blood moon
Rushin’ like a typhoon
buzzing like a fly soon
stop me when the rain come
drop down the drain cuz
I’m lost without the pain
I’m stranger than the weather, whenever we’re together.
My baby’s got Highboy and a washtub full of gin
It’s such strange weather – whenever we’re together
come around and put the top down
and let the moon shine in

7 angry Karens dislike the video cuz there says "black" in the title
Should've called it Elecro Swing Noir
I need more music like this. Any suggestions?
This song is an absolute masterpiece; proof that good music does still exist today, you just have to know where to look. And a great place to start looking is Freshly Squeezed!
Epic
wonderful
lovely
awesome
Criminally underrated in my personal opinion, deserves many more views.
Aweso.e
👌
I think the song is great, but right now I am really knocked out by the quality of the visual. It looks like it must have cost a bomb and it really enhances the song, rather than distracting. Many thanks for the great pleasure this is giving me. Henceforth, at my place, the Vesper will be renamed the Freshly Squeezed (I do like to add a twist of lemon rind and a few drops of lemon juice).
Specialz
Cool
Love the sax !!!!
This song reminds me of kyoko kirigiri 😩😩
What movie?
i need to say this is by far my most favorite music video
