Strokes man Nikolai Fraiture’s new outfit Summer Moon have unveiled a sun-kissed new video for latest track ‘Happenin’
Featuring actor Samuel D Evans, the one shot video finds him dropping some fresh moves as he heads down an LA alley – swaggering along to the seriously groovy number.
Chatting about the track and its relationship with the new video, Nikolai said that “The chorus of ‘Happenin” is a mantra that is helpful, especially during these crazy times in the US and the world. The video being one continuous shot speaks to the effect that events have on our perception of time -and that the only control we have is how we react to them. Sam Evans’ stand-out performance embodies the lyrical dichotomy of being fed up, having a strong urge to change things and being a helpless bystander.”
Summer Moon (which also includes members of Jane’s Addiction, The Airbourne Toxic Event and Uh Huh Her) will release their debut album ‘With You Tonight’ on February 24th. We chatted to Nikolai about all things Summer Moon in the next issue of the magazine, which you can find out more about and pre-order here.
