Caitlin Rose Black Obsidian screencap

In the first single from Caitlin Rose’s forthcoming Cazimi, the outstanding Nashville songsmith’s first new album since 2013, she sings about forcing yourself to look closely at the cracks in a relationship and decide once and for all whether to patch them over or to end it. There’s a parallel to draw there to the moment in a thriller when someone recognizes that something is not right — there’s a strange sound coming from the basement, or all the lights went out at the house across the street — and has to go check it out. The music video treatment that director Austin Leih worked up for the song, in which Rose is on night watch at a warehouse, elegantly and eerily mirrors the conflict in the song.
