Autre Ne Veut is back. The musician has released a new single called “Okay,” which arrives with an accompanying music video. Directed by the filmmaker John Robson with contributions from animator Karl Richter, the video places a 3D rendition of Autre Ne Veut in an underwater setting, where they float around while performing the single. Watch below.
“Okay” is the first new music from Autre New Veut since 2015’s Age of Transparency. In a statement accompanying the single, Autre Ne Veut’s Arthur Ashin said that they have continued to produce music for upcoming artists while pursuing a master’s degree in social work. “Therapy and producing are both almost a kind of motherhood, in which you nurture and mentor someone like watering a plant,” they explained. “In my solo work, I’ve had to be my own mother musically, so I think I’m now drawn to offering that same kind of motherhood to other people, whether as a social worker or a producer.”
Age of Transparency marked Autre Ne Veut’s third studio album, following 2013’s Anxiety and their 2010 self-titled debut.
