He was the finest actor of his generation He sure fooled me He was the finest actor of his generation Left all his stand-ins behind in the dust at Penn Station He sure fooled me He moved like De Niro and talked like O’toole Inside I was scared but he made me feel cool He smelled of tobacco guilt, and red wine And sooner or later the guilt it was mine He played to the camera instead of with me Said “honey don’t pin your hopes on a ship lost at sea” He could’ve been Burton, Harris or Dean They could’ve been moments but they were just scenes He was the finest actor of his generation In retrospect there’s no doubt that he’s found his vocation He sure fooled me He sure fooled me

We are still pulling out the gems that have made “Been Around” one of the albums of the year. “Finest Actor” is one of those exercises in which Erin Moran proves herself to be a master at managing melancholy and sadness, with elegance and strength, conjuring a combination of absolutely exquisite details (that guitar with tremolo, that clavichord, the piano), making her a unique figure in the current music scene. To go with the release of this Digital Single, we have a new video, in which a woman in the autumn of her life goes to the movies to submerge herself in memories of the great Hollywood classics: Gary Cooper, James Dean... There is only one other person in the audience in the whole theater. And at the exit… That thing that happens in life in the big city happens. For the second time on this album, Tom Gagnaire directs the video, once again using the effect of cameras like the PANASONIC NV-M5EP, distorting colors and creating special textures, and even more so considering the cinematic tribute of this audiovisual work. Like the best liquor, Erin Moran’s albums must be savored sip by sip, little by little, letting the flavor strengthen. Pure pleasure.
