Set to embark on a North American & Canadian tour with LA singer-songwriter Pearl Charles this week, Fascinator aka Johnny Mackay today reveals the video for Drenched Out.  The single features on his second studio album Water Sign released last month via Spinning Top (Tame Impala, POND, GUM) | Caroline.

A beguiling soundtrack for wanderlust and the need for constant adventure – earthly and otherwise, the self-directed video for Drenched Out takes in the picturesque sights of his adopted nation including Montauk, Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Brooklyn and the Californian desert.

“We had planned to build a raft out of junk and beach debris in Montauk, but happened upon a piece of decking by the water where we were shooting.  We loaded the base with life jackets so it didn’t sink. It might not look it, but it was bloody freezing,” says Mackay of the panoramic ocean scenes.

Featuring first single Sex Crystals and the aforementioned Drenched Out, Water Sign journeys multiple sonic terrain. The atmospheric, extended trip offers a sublime dose of revolutionary listening.  A lonely planet guide to Fascinator, the experimental aesthetic was conceived over a four-year period, recorded everywhere from planes and trains, a barn in Nantucket, several Brooklyn apartments and an Australian kitchen.

Fascinator has opened for Tame Impala at two sold-out shows at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Forever Cemetery, toured on St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, supported The Avalanches in Amsterdam and joined the likes of Santigold and Kali Uchis at Full Moon Festival in NYC. He has delivered vivacious sets everywhere from a private festival in The Dominican Republic to playing atop an art car at Burning Man, in addition endless touring in his previous incarnation as singer/guitarist with the indie rock band Children Collide.
