Liam Benzvi shares his second single and video “Other Guys” featuring Blood Orange. The track is off the NYC artist’s forthcoming album, …And His Splash Band, available September 27 via Fat Possum. Dev Hynes has been a long time collaborator and friend of Benzvi. From gracing the stage together opening for Harry Styles at Madison Square Garden to performing Hynes song “Wish” which features Benzvi on Fallon, “Other Guys.” In this music video directed by Luca Venter, you feel the rush of movement through the city. Benzvi says, “for me, the song has always felt like a meditation, and the way I meditate or rinse anything, is by moving around—whether it’s walking, running or driving—so we knew the video had to depict constant motion. Also, New York, a big city, but often one that feels so small, is intended to be its own character that shapeshifts around us. There’s an aimless and meandering quality to the video that I really love—a content, wandering feeling. And since the band is there, and Dev is there, it doesn’t feel lonely, because it isn’t.” “Other Guys” follows previous single “Dust”
Benzvi says, The song came together from a demo of an entirely different song I wrote in 2016, only to be dug up and rewritten when I needed it most. I think it’s pretty obvious what it’s about — rediscovering yourself, being social, being sexual, knowing what you like or don’t like. “Six degrees I’m On You” is in reference to how small the world feels sometimes. Dev is one of my good friends and I already knew our voices sounded nice together, so having his vocals on the song added the most perfect texture, and I’m so beyond content with how it all came out. Co-producing it all between New York and LA with Nightfeelings, Middle Part, and Frank Corr was also extremely gratifying and fun.
The New York City native, has been a part of the city’s music scene for a while now, and through his years of gigging, producing, and releasing music. Over the last few years, Benzvi’s career has worked with Porches, Hatchie and Coco and Clair Clair, and has toured with Turnstile, high school classmate Azealia Banks, and even Harry Styles.
