Telefone - "Indigo"

posted March 15, 2023 #

For years, I've been trying to get Mac Burrus to release some music of his own. He has been the bass player for the band Self for as long as I can remember and contributed a bunch of great work to that project. I just wanted to hear Mac songwriting. With the upcoming release of Telefone, I got my wish!

The band is a collaboration between Burrus and brothers Justin & Brandon Tapp. The former lives in LA, the latter two in Austin. Across thousands of miles and many years, they wrote, recorded, mixed, re-recorded, re-mixed and anguished over their debut album. It's set for release on March 22nd via yk Records and it's damn good. Obviously I'm biased but it does such a great job of embracing its influences while building something new; exactly what you want from a project.

The first video from the undertaking - for the Burrus-penned track "Indigo" - is out today. If you're a fan of Self, you should keep your eyes peeled to try to spot the 9 Easter Eggs floating in there. If you have no idea who Self is, don't worry - it's still a damn good video and an excellent song to kick things off with.

Watch the video!
