Last month, @half.handedcloud performed a free show at Salpausselkä Playground in Helsinki, Finland, including tracks from his new album ‘Toothpaste Horse.’

John says: “The footage from this video is all made up of shots from people that I just met that day (I was too distracted to hand our camera to my wife and kids). Video credits and lots of thanks to @leperslepers , @ossyhello , toyetic.it , & @benandante_blog This tiny playground show basically only happened because some Italian semioticians were traveling up here in early June, wondering if I had a concert scheduled during the time that they’d be in town presenting a paper at the International Congress on Musical Signification in Helsinki. I hadn’t played a Finland show since @jvdmusic and Half-handed Cloud got to have a bookstore concert here in October 2017, and I hadn’t been planning to play anytime soon, but then thought that maybe I could try. It turned into a free Sunday afternoon park performance! Not pictured: my daughters (7 & 5), who sang along on a song with echo microphones!”

@Sufjan “Fourth of July (April Base Version)”

@Sufjan “Fourth of July (April Base Version)”

Filmed by Michael O’Neal (@mo) and Adam Prieto (@radamprieto)

“The evil it spread like a fever ahead
It was night when you died, my firefly
What could I have said to raise you from the dead?
Oh could I be the sky on the fourth of July?

Well you do enough talk
My little hawk, why do you cry?
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
Or the Fourth of July?
We’re all gonna die.

Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head
Was it all a disguise, like Junior High
Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction
Now where am I? My fading supply

Did you get enough love, my little dove
Why do you cry?
And I’m sorry I left, but it was for the best
Though it never felt right
My little Versailles.

The hospital asked should the body be cast
Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky
Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?

Shall we look at the moon, my little loon
Why do you cry?
Make the most of your life, while it is rife
While it is light

Well you do enough talk
My little hawk, why do you cry?
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
Or the Fourth of July?
We’re all gonna die.”

This is your official reminder to stream and buy half.handedcloud’s new album, ‘Toothpaste Horse.’

Featured in this video is a Ringhofer family staple: the infamous owl hat. 🦉🧢

John says: “We bought the owl hat at a crafts fair in Helsinki when our oldest was a toddler. It was made by hand by the seller, and we’ve passed it down to each of our kids as their older siblings grew out of it. Our youngest is wearing it in the ‘What? Where You Going?’ rotoscopic music video, and on the cover of the Toothpaste Horse LP.”
