Jess Williamson shares a video for “Topanga Two Step,” a stand out from her  acclaimed new album, Time Ain’t Accidental, out now on Mexican Summer. Upon its release the song was called “a soft-rock reverie for a casual but intense encounter” by NPR who praised Williamson saying she “writes from such a holistic perspective that a listener can empathize from head to toe.”

"For 'Topanga Two Step', we set out to make a video that captures the surreal landscape of the Texas Hill Country and feels like a daydream,” Williamson explains. “We filmed on a ranch on the Guadalupe River and inside a Stonehenge replica. Lyrically, the song comes from a moment in my life when I was trying too hard to impress someone who was really different from me, but the rejection and weirdness I felt ended up guiding me into a deeper understanding of myself.

I asked my partner Samuel Walker to direct the video because he shot the incredible cover photo of my new album, Time Ain’t Accidental, and I wanted to delve further into our visual collaboration. His vision for the video centered around this energy in the lyrics of sensuality, longing, and release."
