Watch Priscilla Ahn's Video for "Leave It Open"

Would you trust a pile moss to drive you round the desert? This is just one of the questions raised in Priscilla's new video.

Georgia-born singer,

Priscilla Ahn

, first made waves back in 2008 with "Dream," a mellow, softly sung acoustic ditty with the clarity of tone and mainstream appeal of Norah Jones (in fact, they shared the same label), and a simple, black and white video that's been

viewed over seven million times

. In the interim since then, the 29-year-old singer has released three full length records, but to be frank, this is the first track that's really made us sit up and pay attention, and it seems Dave Sitek—who released "Leave It Open" on his Federal Prison imprint—is similarly enamored.

It's easy to hear why. On "Leave It Open" Priscilla trades her trad, stripped blueprint for Casio beats and chillwave synths, with her airy vocals floating and falling in daydreamy echoes. It's the kind of song best listened to sun-drunk and flat on your back, while reality slips away over the horizon. Meanwhile, the video—premiered above—raises several pertinent questions such as:

1. Would you take public transport more frequently if it was this verdant?

2. Where can we get a lovebird for a buddy and don't they come in pairs? (Where is his lover?!)

3. Would you trust a pile moss to drive you round the desert?

4. Do you ever feel like you're waiting for a bus that never comes?

Just watch it; it's cool.

Priscilla's upcoming album is out on February 25, on SQE Records, and "Leave It Open" is out now via Federal Prism.
