Jarrod Gorbel found great success with his previous band, the Honorary Title, but he was burned out with the band format, changing line-ups and pressures that made him feel as though he was drifting ever farther away from his musical goals. So, Gorbel wisely chose to get back-to-basics rather than continuing on an unsatisfying career treadmill. Gorbel says, “all of those experiences made me realize how far away I’d gotten from who I really was, as a person and an artist.”
The singer songwriter has thus gone solo on his latest EP, Bruises From Your Bad Dreams, released back in February, creating a batch of tunes that are spare and folky, but eminently rich and satisfying. Of his creative approach, Gorbel says, “I’ve always preferred albums with a lot of atmosphere, where production is rich and layered, but you can still identify what each instrument is doing.” That’s highlighted beautifully on this new video directed by Adam Neustadter of EP song “Miserable Without You”, which is rendered utterly charming through it’s comic art animations. The tune also features Nicole Atkins, in a lively duet.
