Video Premiere: State to State Defend The Light Inside With ‘My Little Phony’

Crave is proud to team up with atmospheric rockers State to State today to premiere the video for their latest single “My Little Phony,” featured on the upcoming EP Motives, due out February 5th. 

Since releasing their first LP No Bounds in 2014, State to State have gone full-throttle in their efforts to conquer the world of progressive, guitar-driven rock. Motives is the next logical step in their efforts, produced and recorded by Grammy Award nominated Ian MacGregor (Katy Perry, Twenty One Pilots) at Greg Wells’ Rocket Carousel Studio in Culver City, CA. 

“The video for ‘My Little Phony’ represents someone struggling through their life, barely holding on by a thread,” guiarist Andrew Orvis shared with Crave. “As he spends another sleepless night running from the darkness and the demons in his life, he tries desperately to protect his inner light from finally burning out.”

With a chugging, urgent rhythm and a no-chaser potency, the video for “My Little Phony” features clips of the band performing the track, intercut with scenes of a paranoid fugitive with a bright little secret, running from an unknown threat. We soon learn that what he’s holding provides far more than just light…

Orvis further elaborated on the recording process for Motives: “Creating this new record has been quite a journey for us. Thankfully, working with Ian MacGregor has been like having a 5th member of the band and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Recording at Rocket Carousel gave us the opportunity to experiment with all kinds of gear, which really helped expand our tonal options for each song.” 

Pick up Motives on February 5th at the band’s official site and on streaming services. Also be sure to catch the band’s record release show at The Lost Room in Echo Park on the same day, and keep up with the guys on Facebook and Twitter.
