Sightings: Julian Lynch, “In New Jersey” Video

JULIAN LYNCH “IN NEW JERSEY” from OLDE ENGLISH SPELLING BEE on Vimeo.

Sigh. There is perhaps no better metaphor for growing up — and more fitting for this tenderest of odes to Julian Lynch’s home state — than a young child discovering the most exquisite creature he has ever seen, then realizing he may have had a hand in wounding it. Stephanie Wuertz’ video is the thought that makes the grass in your parents’ backyard smell a little more bitter than sweet — the repressed horror of the time you crushed on your first lady bug without wanting to, cloaked in the uncertain costume of a dream.

Words: Emilie Friedlander

“In New Jersey” is the closing track on Julian Lynch’s second l.p., Mare, which dropped just two days ago on Olde English Spelling Bee. Order a copy.
