Leiminpace is proud to present Sean Solomon’s The World Is Not Good Enough, an exhibition featuring the original artwork that he created for his debut album of the same name and the "Black Hole" music video, out now on ANTI- Records. 

 

Sean Solomon is a Los Angeles-based animator, songwriter, and recording artist. He has created animated videos for Run The Jewels and has toured with The Breeders and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. A physical media enthusiast, Solomon hand drew the album’s artwork as well as each frame of his animated music videos. His love of analog formats made a VHS release a natural extension of the project.

 

“I perform live with a VHS tape that has all my backing tracks and animated videos on it,” Solomon explains. “If I make a mistake, I have to rewind. I love that danger and uncertainty. The tape warps, my gear sometimes breaks, and every show is a little different.”

 

That same sense of imperfection carries into the deluxe edition of The World Is Not Good Enough, which was recorded entirely onto VHS, preserving the tape hiss, warping, and unpredictability of Solomon’s live performances. The World Is Not Good Enough is also available on VHS through Retro Release Video.

 

Press on Sean Solomon The World Is Not Good Enough:

"The album is one to savor and fall into, pairing an existential philosophical bent with a quiet, desperate affection for humanity. " - Paste 

 
"The L.A.-based musician favors disillusion over delirium, but his bummed-out, dissatisfied and wise-up narrators can’t help but carry at least a shred of what remains of their heart on their sleeve." - SPIN
