Your Grandparents —"Ali & Jenn" | Neighborhoods (Live at Kenter Trailhead in Los Angeles, CA)

DaCosta and Jean Carter from LA-based R&B/hip-hop trio Your Grandparents perform their single "Ali & Jenn" at Kenter Trailhead near Brentwood atop the Santa Monica Mountains.

"It was a cloudy day when we first came here years ago to shoot promo visuals for an early version of 'The Dial,' they revealed. "A little vista perched just above the dense clouds felt cut off from the rest of the world. Quiet and secluded, a very rare thing to get on a weekend in a major city. It was representative of the phase we were in; the section of the process before we open the door, letting out a little bit of the world we’ve crafted so patiently.

"It was interesting to come back years later with the album realized to fruition, the once hesitantly cracked door blown open wide. The day was sunny and clear, cables and gear strewn across the dirt on top of shirts and crates. Kevin (our go-to guy for visuals) ran around with the cameras pressing record before we lost sun, while I tended to meters, hoping to block the ever-present wind. We’ve been DIY from the start, maybe to our detriment, but there’s a certain magic to it that’s hard to let go of when the process started that way so long ago."
