The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from their debut album 'Expressions of Interest', released earlier this month (October 8th) through Upset The Rhythm and Heavy Machinery. Get your copy here.
On the video to B/ST the band say: "Welcome to your psychedelic VHS nightmare/dream. In the Buy/Sell/Trade video clip we invite you to dive into the clutter. Everyday we’re overloaded with words and images that at a point everything we see and read becomes almost meaningless.
The video concept is about language and visuals and how we as individuals inject meaning into both. The use random words throughout the clip aims to stimulate a response in the viewer, the meaning of which is unique to each person processing the words and creating their own subjective context. The words are unrelated to the songs lyrics, but their meaning now tied to the song can suggest whatever the individual viewer chooses to conclude.
Videographer and multimedia artist Haiden Nettle dug deep into his collection of old science VHS tapes, gathering footage he felt most appropriate for the vibe of the track. Footage of the band was then layered on top and recorded to VHS tape through a video-mixer. Images and text from old copies of the obscure magazine Nexus were turned into rotating 3D objects that surround the band. The overall effect is a visual overload of colour and movement to accompany the synth-driven krautrock jammer that will make you think about the visual and sensory bombardment of life in the world today."
