MIMO: There are some pretty creative arrangements on the record. It wasn’t even my favorite movie, I just felt there was something inspiring about this iconic figure, and then seeing who she is as a real person and her loneliness.
Cold lyrics by aqualung and lucy schwartz movie#
I was playing around with that melody, and then I watched the movie Marie Antoinette. My friend had actually lent me a tenor guitar, which is a 4-string guitar. Lucy: It’s hard to pick a favorite because they are all like your musical children…I really love “Marie Antoinette.” There’s something very magical about that one.
MIMO: Do you have a favorite tune on the new record? If so, why? What makes it your favorite? I worked with this really great director who takes photographs and makes a collage so that it feels like you’re in a large 3D space, but actually, it’s this collaged space, which is really cool. With Timekeeper, I thought it would be a great idea to introduce the record in this fantastical way, and I came up with this story and I wrote it. I hope to make a video for every single song. The idea is to really create this landscape of fantasy. MIMO: Is that part of the inspiration for the trailer, as well? I would even give the mixer pictures to show like, “This is what the song looks like to me.” This is the first time where I was connecting visuals to music in that way. That’s very much like when I was in the studio, I was always thinking of imagery. I feel like you can listen to it and be inspired, think of ideas, and think of images. To me, this is the most visually evoking record. Lucy: I think it’s very different from the earlier work, partly just because as you grow as a person you want to write about different things and you have a different point of view. What stands out to you most about this record, and what do you think sets it apart from your earlier work? MIMO: Let’s talk about the new album Timekeeper. Lucy Schwartz was kind enough to spend a few minutes with MIMO talking about the new album, and also affording us some insight into the opportunities that have come her way. This week, Schwartz releases her third full-length studio release Timekeeper, an eclectic and highly creative blend of sound and lyric with plenty of great hooks to boot. She’s also co-written with the likes of Landon Pigg and Aqualung, toured with Lilith Fair, and even covered a Carpenters song on the television show House of Lies. At age 23, she’s already had dozens of song placements in film and television (most recently her song “Boomerang” on the Season 4 finale of Arrested Development, now available on Netflix). For being a young indie artist, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Lucy Schwartz has certainly made the rounds.
