THAO - Fossils [Video]

“Don’t just handshake the body who loves you.” The new song by San Francisco-based singer-songwriter THAO is a reminder not to let fear keep you at arm’s length from the people who matter most. “Fossils” is a lively pop song with a bouncy bass line that radiates hope and joy.

THAO, who previously recorded music as THAO & the Get Down Stay Down, has returned to Kill Rock Stars and is set to release more music this year.

She says:

Fossils is both a red-flag warning and an encouragement. I’m saying I can see it all, I can zoom out and up and see how I and we will have reached the end, frozen in these protective stances. The danger of underliving our lives is real, is in every isolationist choice we make. However, we can continually decide to be different. It takes enormous amounts of work to metabolize fear instead of being based in it. It is so easy to slip into the grooves of self protection.
