Film School Premiere "Take What You Need" & "Superperfection" Music Videos

Los Angeles shoegaze/psych/alt band Film School have premiered two new video for the songs "Take What You Need" and "Superperfection".

Both tracks are taken from their sixth studio album "We Weren’t Here", released in September last year via Sonic Ritual. Get it here.

About the video for "Take What You Need", Director Laura Conway explains: 

"Place is crucial for me and I often start with a location as the first character. In this case it was the Media Archeology lab and their workshop of beautiful (and functioning!) machines. Once I listened to the song, which is all about living your truth, a story started emerging about a computer tech encountering a computer virus that red pills her into the realization that she is also a dancer. I have been looking for a project to collaborate on with choreographer and mover Constance Harris because her choreography is so dynamic and when she performs I am completely transfixed. As we developed the look and ideas Constance Harris, my costume designer Andrea Ballas, and I talked about references from Grace Jones and Bruce Conner, to Black Box, and Spike Lee's Girl 6. The video also nods to the buried history of women, especially black women, in the development of early computer programming, which has been erased by the silicon nightmare/regime we currently live under.”

“Continuing on Laura’s ideas here, to me this video not only celebrates women and diversity in early computer programming, but also the underrepresented diversity and POC in our music genre, past and present.” - Singer Greg Bertens



On "Superperfection" video, Director Christin Turner, says:  

"Superperfection follows the psychedelic undergrowth encroaching on mysterious and breathtaking structures. The music video was shot on 16mm Kodak film in the forested ruins in Sintra, Portugal, and the Carmo Convent Ruins in Lisbon, stitched together in oscillating light. Waves of color overtake the real and place us back into the surreality of film. The video interprets the song's lyrics as an overtaking of civilization by all forms of wild-ness in the foreseeable future - as pattern that repeats throughout the centuries. The world without humans is animated using camera effects, colors, and movement. Experimental film techniques push into the frame, as if to introduce an alternate reality that underlies it all. True wildness emerges from vibrant inner experiences."

I am grateful Film School was open to experimenting with various film techniques to capture our dreamy effects in camera. A visual representation of their tone and album artwork was important to me. When creative visions align, and yes is a common response, we can create something uniquely beautiful. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this colorful dream to life. It would not have been possible without you."

New Entry: Film School Drop New Single "Said Your Name"

Los Angeles shoegaze/psych/alt band Film School have returned with their double single "Said Your Name".

The song is taken from their upcoming sixth studio album "We Weren’t Here", out September 24th via Sonic Ritual. Get it here

Speaking about it, band member Greg Bertens: “This is probably my favorite track on the album. I love the way Noël’s vocals glide over the top of the instruments and gently lead the listener through this breakup song. So many breakup songs are about fucking over, or getting fucked over. The ensuing anger can almost make that type of breakup easier; it’s black and white. This isn’t that. This is about a couple that still loves one another, but are changing as individuals and unable to align. I love the way Noël’s vocals glide over the top and gently lead the listener through this breakup, she really captures the situation.”

Film School Return With Double Single "Isla / Superperfection"

Los Angeles shoegaze/psych/alt band Film School have returned with their double single "Isla / Superperfection".

The songs are taken from their upcoming full length album "We Weren’t Here", out September 24th via Sonic Ritual. Get it here

“Superperfection” is a dark spacey rocker that finds our heroes picking up where they left off from last year’s “Is This A Hotel?” and 2019’s “Influencer” singles, while “Isla” is perfect, washed out, glimmering pool side hazy ease.

New Entry: Film School Share Two-Song Single "Swim"“

Los Angeles shoegaze/psych/alt band Film School have shared their two-song new single "Swim".

The single, featuring the songs "Is This A Hotel" and "Don't You Ever", is out now via Hauskat Records. Buy it here.

"These two songs are about recovery. Sometimes I find myself writing out fragments of conversations I’m having with myself," explained Bertens. "There’s a lot of back-and-forth head talk in these songs, challenging some cliches I’ve come to believe as well as weird stories I’ve told myself about myself. I think when you take an inventory of your head you find situations where you cast yourself in the best light, and some in the worst, but you sorta have to kill your ego if you want to get any kind of clarity on it all."

Listen both tracks below.
