Hand claps, religious symbolism, cars and Kevin Morby and all figure prominently in his video for “No Halo.” “No Halo” was taken from Morby’s upcoming album, Oh My God which will be released via Dead Oceans on April 26th.
In regard to the religious title and song, “Religion is around all of us,” Morby says. “It’s a universal language and there is profound beauty in it. I’ve found it a useful tool within songwriting, as it’s something everyone can relate to on some level. There are religious themes or imagery in a lot of what I’ve done, so I wanted to get all of that out and speak only that language for a whole record. It’s not a born-again thing; it’s more that ‘oh my god’ is such a profound statement we all use multiple times a day and means so many different things. It’s not about an actual god but a perceived one, and it’s an outsider’s view of the human experience in terms of religion.”
