We’re just three weeks into hashtag-quarantine-life here in Humboldt County, but that’s long enough to have established some new norms. The new workplace for many folks has become the split-screen Zoom meeting, and work attire is often professional up top, pajamas down below.

Local band The Oyster Baes embrace this aesthetic while honoring social distancing rules in their just-released music video for the appropriately titled song “On My Own.”

In an email to the Outpost, the Baes say they had recorded the song at Bongo Boy Studios pre-quarantine and used Zoom to record the band members playing their instruments in their own homes. 

“We are all familiar with doing the Zoom platform for our day jobs and thought it would be funny to show how many folks are working in pajamas with our eerily relevant song ‘On My Own,’ written by Ralph Till,” the emails reads. 

The band, which consists of Annie Fehrenback, Kristina Zabierek, Maia Pini, Ralph Till and Claire Till, is slotted to play Oyster Fest this year — “if it still happens, fingers crossed!” their email says. 

For now, they say this video shows “how artists are staying creative during this weird time!”
