Rusty Santos Shares "All Things Phasin'" Video, With Animation From Black Dice's Aaron Warren, Directed By Liat Krongrad

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Multi-talented LA producer and musician Rusty Santos, best known for his work with Animal Collective / Panda Bear, has shared "All Things Phasin'," a new single & video from his upcoming album High Reality on London independent label Lo Recordings.

"All Things Phasin'" has a message that is decisively anti-commercialism - meanwhile the video is playful, featuring animation work from Aaron Warren (Black Dice), direction by Liat Krongrad and dance performances by Santos' cousins, Rebecca Sano and Ellyssa Taylor.

A self-produced and recorded return after Santos' last solo outing Eternity Spans, the new album features nine brand new songs performed on guitar, synths, piano, electronic / acoustic drums and bass that contemplate one's place in the universe, mental health struggles and our relationships with others.

Santos explains the jarring series of events that led to the creation of this album - "These songs were created from a place of necessity after I had been hospitalized and involuntarily held in a facility due to a psychotic break, which was brought on by tactics I faced by others in the music industry. It took the efforts of some artist friends and label contacts I work with to intervene and get me released. The people in charge at the facility didn't believe I was a record producer. The album title, High Reality, is the name I've given to the state of consciousness I was in while detached from day-to-day reality during my crisis."
