\\nChicago-based artist\\xa0Sen Morimoto has signed with City Slang Records, accompanying the announcement with the new single "If The Answer Isn\\u2019t Love."

\\n\\u201cIn the face of imminent climate disaster, war and unending sickness it\\u2019s natural to start considering what will remain and what might have made it all worth it,\\u201d Morimoto says of today\'s Song of the Day. \\u201cI want the sound of my music to reflect that same urgency \\u2013 instruments warbling and splattered over the beat, melodies tangled and contradicting. I wrote this song about the enduring power of love and the struggle to hang onto that feeling when in crisis.\\u201d
\\nThe song\'s video was directed by Chicago film production duo\\xa0New Trash.\\xa0Morimoto continues, "Up until my first tour in Japan, I washed dishes for a living. I would daydream all day at work about being a full time musician. My fantasies were sweet and naive, mostly just pop culture references glued together, stuff I\\u2019d seen in movies and music videos. It wasn\\u2019t until I started touring full time that I realized how long the road is from being a working musician to building a life in music that is actually sustainable, which has become even harder as touring proves itself to be a gamble with bad odds, even for more established acts. I wrote this video concept as a kind of tongue-in-cheek visualization of those mid-shift daydreams. I\\u2019m dreaming of this big guitar solo in the sky, but even my fantasy is insecure, balancing on a rusted beam with no support."
