When he’s not touring as the keyboardist for Phosphorescent, Scott
Stapleton serves as frontman and songwriter for the Brooklyn-based band
Virgin Forest, which also includes members of Deer Tick. After breaking
his hand in a fight in Germany while on tour with Phosphorescent,
Stapleton returned to his native Florida to convalesce, and, as these
things go, he ended up writing a whole new album with his good hand.
While the band’s first two records offered a dusty take on American rock
and roll music, the upcoming VF3 finds Virgin Forest exploring
some nocturnal electronic textures, described by Stapleton as “a
meeting of early Massive Attack and Bertie Higgins.” The new video for
the aptly titled song “Dream,” shot by Matthew Walker in hazy, dreamlike
black and white, is a moody affair that wordlessly but powerfully
documents the story of a drag queen and her ex-lover.
