Following previous single For, Hunger, and Looking For The Right things, Only Mystery is the latest offering from forthcoming album Meet Me at the Gloaming. Speaking on the new single, A.O. Gerber comments: “I wrote this song about trying to get to know my father in the waning years of his life and grappling with how hard that is — the desire for closeness at odds with the reality of our history. He’s an incredible saxophone player — I grew up eavesdropping on him playing in our living room. Even though we never really connected around music, I have to imagine that had a huge influence on my desire to be a musician. I knew I wanted to have saxophone on this song as a sort of homage to him. Sam Gendel’s eerie and subtly-omnipresent playing is one of my favorite parts of the track.”
Moving on to discus the accomanying video Gerber adds: “The only visuals that made sense to me for this song were clips from home videos. So I asked Alexa Nikol Curran, my best friend and the only person I’d trust, if she’d be willing to comb through the hours of footage I have and create something fitting. I love working with her because she somehow reads my mind and then elevates whatever I was imagining.”
