Debby Friday – The Starrr Of The Queen Of Life
The Starrr Of The Queen Of Life, Debby Friday’s luminous and expansive new album, and the follow-up to GOOD LUCK, her Polaris Prize-winning, full-length debut, is out today worldwide from Sub Pop and in Canada from Royal Mountain Records.
The album features the highlights “Bet On Me,” “Lipsync,” “All I Wanna Do Is Party,” “1/17,” and today’s offering, the official video for the shoegaze dancehall track “Alberta.”
Friday codirected the somber and tearful “Alberta” visual with returning collaborator Kevan Funk. She says of the song, and the visual’s place in The Starrr Of The Queen Of Life universe, “Alberta encapsulates so much of what I’ve learned about love, grief, forgiveness and what it means to be together with others. I see your heart and I know that I and Thou are the same. In a way, it is the ultimate ethos of the album. I borrowed a little bit from David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive for the video. There’s this hypnotizing transmission of a deep and shared sadness that happens during the Club Silencio scene that really shook me the first time I saw it.”
