Mehldau and Guiliana have been performing for several years, with Mehldau playing Fender Rhodes and synthesizers and Guiliana on drums and effects, as they are on the record. During a show at Largo in Los Angeles last fall, the duo performed songs from the forthcoming album, including "Hungry Ghost," a video of which was released in November, and "Just Call Me Nige," which you can now watch below. The video was directed and recorded by Alex Chaloff.
