Before Charlotte Cornfield releases her new album Could Have Done Anything this Friday, she shares the final single/video for the transportive “Gentle Like the Drugs” directed by Ali Vanderkruyk. Regarding the track's inspirations, Cornfield says:

“I wrote this song after a particularly special and memorable tour opening for Pedro The Lion in the west of the US. Something strong clicked on that tour, and I was experiencing joy on the road in a way I really hadn’t before, feeling fully present and just revelling in the company of my bandmates and taking in the spectacular landscape in a way that felt like a deep breath. I had never really been to the desert before, to Southern Utah and Arizona, and I was very moved by it. This is a drifting summer song to me, about letting grief and anxiety go and feeling light and buzzed and in love and joyful."

Vanderkruyk's video couldn't fit more perfectly, she explains:

“The video is a 16mm travelogue following the hand of a wanderer writing postcards to a loved one back home. Each vignette acts as vessel for the lyrics for the song, acknowledging the beauty of home while observing the unfamiliar. We see the kitsch in chosen images for a postcard, as well as the ways one can personalize an object that is available to the masses."
