Your new album, which accompanies the short film, is out today! When you were making this film, was the album already done?The songs were there, but we were still mixing it. I finished it toward the beginning of 2020. That process was exhaustingly transformative. There’s just so much energy and history that I learned about my own family that went into it. All the things that we’re doing in the film and examining are things I examined in real life and in making this music.
Topaz’s sophomore album, Don’t Go Tellin’ Your Momma, out now on all streaming platforms. Artwork by Jason Filmore Sondock and Topaz Jones.Both the film and the album ended up hitting the same emotional target. They’re both talking about these greater issues through mining my own personal experience. I’ve always wanted to share more of my personal story, but in my music I’ve historically been a lot more guarded.
Jason and Simon, you’ve shot work for Calvin Klein, Moncler, Pyer Moss, Reebock, Audi... the list goes on. You both have this ability to create a commercial that’s about, say, a pair of sneakers and you still make it feel so personal. Are you finding yourself more interested in creating work that is even more personal and vulnerable?I’ve been working on this script for a bit that’s very personal.
I get to do what I love, with people I love. I read in the New York Times the other day that, for most people, after the age of 30, you don’t end up meeting many new people. I’m proud to say that I’m constantly meeting new people all of the time, and I’ll continue to be able to do that in this field. I’m also so proud that these two guys who I met when I was 17 are now my closest friends, and we’re still working together.
