Deerhunter are set to release their new LP Fading Frontier (their seventh album) this Friday. They’ve already given us a taste of it with “Snakeskin,” “Breaker,” and today they shared their video for “Living My Life”. Directed by Deerhunter’s own Bradford Cox, the video features a chill dog and sunny moments & is dedicated to Miles Davis. In a statement to Pitchfork, Cox describes the video as…
“…macro meditations on geology and botany to observations of afternoon light filtered onto wooden floors. The idea was to have a formless visual that does not conform to the overwhelming cleverness and narrative ambition of most modern videos. Instead we have a sometimes pointless, sometimes ridiculous, and sometimes hypnotically beautiful mess of images and rhythm. The final section of the video, in particular, could be a teenage garage band take on Tarkovsky’s Solaris. Various chemicals and dyes were used to create a liquid fantasia for the song’s transcendent climax.”
Check out the video above. Fading Frontier comes out October 16th on 4AD.
