Watch New Cass McCombs Video For Brighter

• 13th Jan 2014

Cult US singer-songwriter Cass McCombs has just released a new video for the song ‘Brighter!’ taken from his recent album ‘Big Wheel And Others’.

The track features a stirring vocal performance from the late actress/singer Karen Black who passed away late last year and starred in Easy Rider, The Great Gatsby and many more movies.

The video was made as an homage to her and was directed by Black’s surviving husband Stephen Eckleberry, compiled of archive footage from her films.

“Cass McCombs emailed me in late November 2013 and asked if I would create a music video for ‘Brighter!’ using classic clips from her movies” explains Eckleberry “It struck me as an opportunity to explore a theme that interests me – the relationship of film and memory. We watch a movie and the images from that movie become part of our memory stream.”
