Featuring Britta Phillips (Luna, Dean & Britta)

The videoclip it's a movie

Following the head turning collaboration with Chromatics singer Ruth Radelet on “Faded Photograph" from earlier this year, A-list Hollywood photographer, director and musician Robert Ascroft taps vocalist and actress Britta Phillips, of indie bands Luna and Dean & Britta, to channel the allure of 1960s Film Noir with the dark and surreal beauty of David Lynch's Lost Highway in sound and cinema with the new single “Where Did You Go." The track boasts Ashcroft’s ethereal guitar interplay with Roger Brogan’s rhythmic mode drumming to conjure a haunting vintage charm with a whip-smart modern allure.

More known for his collaborations in other entertainment fields like directing, photography, and music production, Ascroft is also a classically trained guitarist turned music producer, where he weaves intricate and evocative melodies that embody his cinematic narratives. Originally from Rochester New York, Robert's upbringing is steeped in his mother's musical heritage and his father's work with Kodak, which foreshadowed his destined immersion in the realms of creativity.

“Where Did You Go” is taken from his forthcoming album Echo Still Remains, out January 31st via Hand Drawn Dracula. 

Visionary director, photographer and producer, Robert Ascroft unveils a captivating musical odyssey akin to the cinematic allure of Wim Wenders' "Until The End Of The World" and the ethereal resonance found in 4AD's This Mortal Coil. Emerging as a prominent photographer in the 2000s, Ascroft forged his path through collaborations with luminaries of the Oscars, Grammys, Tonys, and Emmys. With an innate ability to capture the essence of his subjects through his camera lens, he redefines photography, infusing it with depth, emotion, and narrative. A classically trained guitarist turned music producer, Ascroft weaves intricate melodies and evocative songwriting with cinematic narratives.

Drawing from a diverse array of talented friends, Ascroft curates a mesmerizing ensemble of vocal performances featuring luminaries such as Zumi Rosow (Black Lips), Kid Congo Powers (The Cramps, Gun Club), Tess Parks, Ruth Radelet (Chromatics), Britta Phillips (Luna), and more. With Ascroft's multi instrumental performances on guitar, bass, and keys, complemented by the rhythmic contributions of friends Derek James and Roger Brogan, the album takes on a rich and dynamic sonic journey.
