Since announcing his new album, Age of Transparency, this past August, Autre Ne Veut (Arthur Ashin) has shared the video for “World War Pt.2,” a jazz version of that single, the single “Panic Room” and its accompanying video, featuring Ashin singing acapella.

Today, in a special collaboration with Yours Truly and Wetransfer, he shares his discussion of album track “Cold Winds” on the YT podcast (rough) and a video for the titular single, as the final tastes of the album before its release next week (on Downtown).

Director Allie Avital, who is responsible for both of the album’s previous videos, claims Age of Transparency’s cover art as her inspiration. She explains; “I caught one of the marble figures eating Thai noodles during lunch and was really moved by how beautiful and somewhat sad that image was. Over the course of the last few months, we [Avital & Ashin] developed this mythology of a dystopian office where the businesspeople have turned to marble, and this mischievous Puck-like character plays amongst them.”

Autre Ne Veut is the latest artist to take over yours truly for a week of collaborative editorial. Arthur’s week consists of a music video, made possible by and in collaboration with WeTransfer, an episode of Yours Truly’s podcast (rough) where artists share the barest bones of a song in the form of the original voice memos, and finally an exclusive download (available via WeTransfer) of the Jazz version of the title track “Age of Transparency.”

Age of Transparency will be available for purchase the day prior to official release (10.02) – this purchase comes with two wristbands to the special NYC record release show at Rough Trade, on October 1st, as well as a limited edition poster for the event.
