Kacey Musgraves is on a surreal journey.
The 35-year-old Deeper Well singer-songwriter shared the music video for her song “Cardinal” on Monday (July 15).
A synopsis, via the official release: “The video is set in a liminal and mundane place – one that feels surreal but familiar and ordinary at the same time and takes you on an abstract and kaleidoscopic trip through birth, rebirth, nature, memory, dream, and the fragmented pieces of ourselves that eventually transform into different energy when we leave this world behind.”
