But she’s keeping busy with live-streaming gigs on YouTube!
Tessa Violet returns with her catchy new single ‘Bored’. The track is taken from her 2019 album Bad Ideas and drops alongside a number of YouTube livestream performances to quell the, er, boredom.
It is an uncanny turn, with the Oregon-born Nashville-residing songwriter penned the song long before self-isolation and COVID-19 was a prospect in the world. It feels serendipitous then, that ‘Bored’ drops now alongside a playful video that cajoles with the difficulty of loneliness and the prospect of entertaining oneself.
“I wrote ‘Bored’ at a time when I was feeling extremely isolated,” shares Violet of what the single means to her. “I was working from home and having trouble sleeping, struggling to build community or find things to do out of the house. Not to be super dark but I dreaded going to sleep because I was dreading facing another day.
“When my director Jade and I wrote the treatment for the video a few months back, I wanted to make a video that reflected that sense of uneasiness and dread, feeling like there’s no way out,” she continues. “Fast forward to now and it’s pretty wild this release coincides with a worldwide self isolation. Maybe it will comfort you, maybe it will drive you crazier. Either way, we’re in this together.”
‘Bored’ and Bad Ideas are both available now via TAG Music. View Tessa Violet’s livestream dates below!
