There’s nothing pretentious about indie singer-songwriter Holden Miller. He writes from a relatable place, addressing issues like anxiety and self-doubt in a casual voice that any listener can understand. You can hear it on his latest single, “My Brain is Fired”, an indie pop gem with tongue-in-cheek humor softening an admission of struggles.
Keeping the tone as light as the whimsical song’s melody, Miller’s video for the track is an animated journey through his head, using a mix of traditional animation and digital to create a unique style that fits the songwriter’s aesthetic. The pastel colors blend well with the breezy pace of the song, while lyrics like “I keep having visions of head-on collisions” are matched with visuals of Holden racing his car against the wind, as rocks and debris fly at him.
It’s an accomplished work, and worth spending a few minutes watching. Check out the video above, and stream the track here!
