This week, Montreal singer/songwriter Michael Rault debuted the video for “New Day Tonight”, The title-track off his forthcoming release, out May 18th, via Sleepless Records.

Michael on the song and video”

“It was the first song I wrote for the album, so it’s very near and dear to my heart. Lyrically, it’s a semi-autobiographical tale of someone who only feels good in the evening. I like the fact that the song is almost completely describing a positive nightlife experience, but the opening line implies that it’s coming as a major relief after spending much of the day depressed.” Directed by Amanda Macchia and conceived by Michael and the album’s producer and Daptone recording engineer, Wayne Gordon, the video is a lo-fi psychedelic escapade that finds a drug-hazed Rault struggling with reality as he relives a Groundhog Day esque series of evenings.
