Alaskan Singer-Songwriter Medium Build Shares Emotional New Single “comeonback” & Video
Medium Build – the moniker of Anchorage, Alaska songwriter Nick Carpenter – has shared his new single “comeonback”. The track is accompanied by a self-directed music video shot at Club Paris Restaurant in Anchorage, Alaska. Produced by Laiko (Peter McPoland, Ben Kessler w/ Lizzy McAlpine), “comeonback” is a tender yet sparse song, showcasing Carpenter’s evocative vocal style and emotional songwriting style. With a bellowing sound in line with Dijon, “comeonback” possess an indescribable rawness that comes from deep within.
“‘comeonback’ is about friendship, forgiveness and checking our blind spots”, Carpenter shares. “I’ve been writing a bunch of love songs to friends and this one is the intersection of ‘I fucked up’ and ‘they fucked up.’ Like how do we proceed when we realize that neither of us are perfect? I used to wanna be perfect in every relationship. I’m learning how to be myself but not give up. Flawed but present.”
About the music video he adds:
“I wanted to make a video that highlighted a place I love in Anchorage. This song is about taking an old friend out for drinks to make up. I think safety comes with trust and time. People and places aren’t static. So the bar in the video is a character. A living breathing flawed thing. Just like me and my friendships. Club Paris is one of the legendary places of anchorage. Deserving of being honored, remembered and loved.”
Medium Build is set to release more music this year and head back on the road this September supporting Briston Maroney on his ‘All Aboard Tour.’
