Today marks the day we finally get to hear Frank Ene’s moody debut LP in its entirety, and to sweeten the deal, the Bay Area songwriter is sharing a video for No Longer’s title track which matches the song’s brooding solitude. Set to the sounds of Ene’s sparse baritone and a dark-country guitar line that could only come from The Fresh & Onlys’ Wymond Miles, the clip sees Frank—at times barely visible—ambling around the remains of an abandoned train station, serving as a visual metaphor of sorts for the theme of mental vagrancy key to No Longer’s aesthetic.
“The ‘No Longer’ video was shot in a discontinued train station in West Oakland,” he shares of the visual’s setting, which matches the darks atmosphere of its preceding clip for “Flesh in a Womb.” “Obviously, the interior of the building is absolutely gorgeous. It was the perfect setting for a song that I find so tender, so vulnerable, and so vague.”
Watch the clip below. No Longer is out today on Empty Cellar Records—order it here.
