Artist: Open Mike Eagle
Song: “Brick Body Complex”
Producer: Caleb Stone
Album: Brick Body Kids Still Daydream
Director: Nikki Born
Open Mike Eagle will release his new album titled Brick Body Kids Still Daydream on September 15th. After impressing with “95 Radios” earlier this month, Mike is back with a video for his new song “Brick Body Complex,” which sees him as a traumatized superhero trying to stop a villain from demolishing a building.
“This is about trauma. It’s about how 30,000 residents were displaced and only one-third of them are accounted for — and there are no AMBER alerts for the other two-thirds,” Mike says. “This is about the pain of that. And how black life in America seems to run parallel with painful events that we’re not supposed to talk about, because America doesn’t really want to hear it. This song and album is about how those buildings were torn down and replaced with nothing — not a new highway or a football field. Nothing at all.”
