The Boston dream-pop trio revisit their debut EP, inside outside upside downside, with a nostalgic new visual ahead of a November 19 performance in Cambridge.
Boston indie dream-pop trio Objects in Motion have released a new music video for “River Road,” the lead single from their debut EP, inside outside upside downside, which arrived in July 2026.
Blending shimmering guitars, atmospheric textures and melodic indie rock, “River Road” explores childhood memories, family relationships and the lasting influence of the places and people that shape our lives.
“It's an homage to loving parental and familial relationships, growing up abroad, having a sense of connection to faraway places,” the band explains.
Rather than focusing on disappointment or regret, the song celebrates the joy of looking back on formative experiences with gratitude and affection.
The accompanying video, produced by bassist Dan Angolano, captures that sentiment through a continuous shot filmed during a drive along tree-lined streets south of Boston. With guitarist michael lantow behind the wheel, Angolano operating a windshield-mounted camera and vocalist Vinda Souza in the back seat, the trio use natural sunlight, shadows and passing scenery to reflect the song's nostalgic atmosphere.
The video complements the broader themes of inside outside upside downside, a four-track EP recorded at Big Nice Studios in Lincoln, Rhode Island, with producer Brad Krieger.
Drawing from shoegaze, dream pop, new wave and alternative rock, the record explores different emotional perspectives across its four songs.
Opener “Incandescent” examines frustration and the feeling of being trapped, while “River Road” turns outward toward discovery and appreciation. “Allston Christmas Ham” explores personal freedom and overcoming limitations, and closing track “Don't Look Down” confronts self-doubt and the dangers of settling for complacency.
Formed in summer 2024, Objects in Motion consists of lantow, Angolano and Souza, with additional drummers joining the group for live performances. Their sound combines layered guitars, driving basslines and reverberant vocals with a collaborative approach to songwriting.
The band are scheduled to perform at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge on November 19 alongside The Mail and Wood & Bone.
The “River Road” music video is available now on YouTube, while inside outside upside downside is available on streaming platforms.
