Jeremy Squires Debuts New LP’s Second Single, ‘Labyrinth’

Independent alt-folk artist Jeremy Squires debuted his latest single last week.

Squires debuted his new single ”Labyrinth’ Thursday through Americana Highways.  The song is the second single from Squires’ forthcoming album Many Moons, which is scheduled for release Aug. 28.  Squires debuted the album’s lead single ‘Cast Spells‘ and its companion video last month.

‘Labyrinth’ is a starkly different song from ‘Cast Spells’ in terms of its musical arrangement.  The arrangement features Squires by himself performing on what sounds like a steel guitar in a very familiar blues-based Americana style approach.  It is a sound that will appeal to longtime fans of Ben Harper.  By comparison, ‘Cast Spells’ is a much more subdued composition even though it boasts the same kind of approach as that presented in ‘Labyrinth.’

The lyrical content featured in Squires’ new song matches well with the song’s subtle musical arrangement, as explained by Squires himself.

“This song is about living in the same place where you grew up and watching everything change around you,” he said. “This line from ‘Labyrinth’ conveys what I try to express in the song: ‘The neighbors were building a treehouse for the kids in the yard where I used to play for hours dreaming.’ I tried to write and sing it in a way that paints a vivid portrait.”

‘Labyrinth’ is available to stream and download here.  Pre-orders are open now.  All pre-orders come with an instant grat download of ‘Cast Spells.’

Jeremy Squires Debuts ‘Cast Spells’ Video

Album Artwork: Kelly Willis/Brainflower Designs

Independent alt-folk artist Jeremy Squires debuted the video for his latest single this week.

Squires debuted the video for his new single ‘Cast Spells‘ Thursday.  The song is the lead single from his forthcoming album — his tenth — Many Moons.  The video features a variety of visuals, such as a fair/theme park setting, a forest, and a person skateboarding, used to illustrate the song’s lyrical theme.

Squires addressed the song’s lyrical theme in a recent interview.

“Cast Spells” reflects the dichotomy of emotions,” he said. “You can feel both pain and love simultaneously; you can feel intense emotions and still be soft spoken. Human feelings are complex and I like to convey that in my poetry or songs.

The song’s subtle, reserved musical arrangement reflects that statement well.  It is just Squire performing on his guitar while singing the song’s melancholy lines.

Squires also addressed the song’s arrangement.

“When I wrote ‘Cast Spells,’ I had originally intended for it to be an acoustic song and a duet,” he said. “Over time I felt the song could be opened up more and I started playing around with different soundscapes and textures. Ultimately the song evolved into what it is now.”

Many Moons‘ track listing is noted below.
