New Video: Kalle Mattson – Avalanche
Ottawa-based singer-songwriter has released a creative new video for the title track “Avalanche” off of his upcoming EP, the follow-up to 2014’s Someday, The Moon Will Be Gold due out August 21. The video was directed by Philip Sportel and produced by Matt Power for Mad Ruk Entertainment, and the concept is something a lot of us music fans will love.
Starting with Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Mattson re-creates 35 album covers that influenced him over the years. The song itself indicates a new direction for him, straying somewhat from his folk music roots and pursuing a more upbeat and pop sound. Mattson is no stranger to internet stardom, as his video for 2012’s Water Falls garnered nearly 270,000 views on YouTube. Posted only a few days ago, Avalanche’s YouTube count has already surpasses 70,ooo views and has the video has been featured on NPR
