Spring Silver’s latest single «Little Prince» off of their sophomore LP «I Could Get Used To This», now has a dreamy music video to accompany it.

The video’s production draws upon the well-developed visual arts background of the band’s founder K Nkanza. It captures the track’s vibrant energy in its myriad of bright colours, and emphasises Spring Silvers’ eccentricities through warped effects, sharp cuts, and fabulous makeup.

Nkanza, a multi-instrumentalist, Washington D.C. local raised in South Dakota, playfully describes their music as «queer metal». Spring Silver is a product of a childhood spent playing both violin and guitar, living in both suburbia and farmland, and ingesting everything from electronic to rock music.

This is what makes «Little Prince» sound so unique: genre-bending and a wide variety of inspiration. Nkanza’s voice taps into the edge of alternative choruses from yesteryear, questioning, «Is this not enough, you spoiled little prince?» The track itself is a commentary on the surreal nature of suburban life.
