Watch the video for Dirt Buyer’s new single Gathering Logs, in which he attempts to process the “family trauma that had been plaguing me for the better part of my life”.
Dirt Buyer has shared a powerful new single, Gathering Logs.
Taken from his upcoming album Dirt Buyer II, the musician – real name Joe Sutkowski – explains that this track in particular “was one of the first songs I wrote after moving to New York”.
“I’d spent a lot of time mulling over the things that had happened in my life prior to the move and by this time I hadn’t really processed any of my family trauma that had been plaguing me for the better part of my life, so a lot of the songs that I wrote during this time were written through the lens of self-discovery, uncertainty, and resentment,” he continues.
“Gathering Logs is a transmogrified outline of my experience living with a narcissistic, alcoholic parent as much as it’s a meditation on leaving space to have empathy for yourself.”
Dirt Buyer II is due out on October 20 via Bayonet Records. Watch the video for Gathering Logs below:
