In addition to the new schedule, Torres has revealed the first music video for a Silver Tongue track. The single, “Dressing America”, is something of a Brooklyn country ballad, dusty sustains holding under cosmic New Wave notes. “You’re always telling me I don’t know who you are/ Come on, woman,” Torres sings to who hesitant paramour. “I tend to sleep with my boots on should I need to gallop over dark water/ To you on short notice.” It follows earlier album previews “Good Scare” and “Gracious Day”.
As for the accompanying visuals, director Ashley Connor captured Torres’ Mackenzie Scott amid the recent squall that covered NYC in snow. Connor calls the clip, “An ode to every sacrificial act of love. Starring our hero Cowboy Mackenzie, who will gladly carry any lover through the snow.” Check out the video below.
