video premiere: Max Bloom of Yuck shares debut solo single “To Be Alone”

Max Bloom of Yuck shares his debut solo single, a soaring and achingly raw reflection on his current state of change and emotional upheaval, marked by a bout with "severe depression, the end of a long-term relationship, and a migration back to his family home." "To Be Alone" has a timeless, classic singer-songwriter vibe -- according to Max's bio, it was informed by the likes of George Harrison, Elliott Smith, and Harry Nilsson -- and it's a gorgeous introduction to this new chapter of Max's evolution as a songwriter, which is a nice contrast from the more indie-rock focused vibe of his other band. It's out today on Modern Sky, and you can listen below via some oddly fitting vintage found footage of amateur couples figure skating below:
