NEW YORK, 03 Feb. 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — One word can be used to describe the music of Jefferson Thomas: American. It’s literally a “melting pot” – of the places he’s been and the things he’s seen, heard and felt. Evanworks is proud to announce the release of Thomas’ new video, “The Switch”, the latest single from his sixteen sundays album.

The story jumps through several juxtaposed visual sets: from a vintage 1930s cartoon treatment, to jerky sequences of intimate interludes in a hotel room, to security camera footage of a robbery and death. escape, to a hilarious low-budget stop-motion police chase with toy cars and helicopters. . There’s also a neat little shift from black and white (in the verses) to color (when the band kicks in full blast) that’s so subtle and unobtrusive you might not even realize it.

According to Thomas, the recording of the track was as irreverent as the song itself – a swampy southern stomp. “The verses and ending are actually the original demo I recorded in a rental car in Texas. I was early for a studio slot on KPFT in Houston, so I hung out in the car with my little commando mobile recording rig and i had the idea for the song. later when we cut the track “for real” in the studio i thought it had lost a bit of its spontaneity and its cutting edge, so I just said “and then shit” and stole in the original demo of me writing the song in the KPFT parking lot.”

All of that, plus footage of Thomas and his band playing live and singing in a hot tub with a cigar, and his guitar literally imploding in his hands (yeah, what happened the?) – and the whole video always arrives at a steady pace of 2 minutes and 48 seconds.

Jefferson Thomas started in his father’s footsteps as a guitarist as a teenager, playing professionally all over the United States. While in college, he interned in the music school’s recording studio and practically lived there while recording his first album. “I was 19 when I released my first CD”, says Thomas. “It’s probably still there somewhere, which makes me sick to my stomach. I don’t even think I own a copy of it anymore.” A live video of his song “Jacksonville” from an NPR show went viral and introduced him to audiences around the world. As a result, he embarked on his first European tour and has subsequently toured overseas every year since, constantly innovating and expanding his fan base.
