It seems like just yesterday we were chatting on a Brooklyn hotel roof with the ever smooth and enigmatic Montreal crooner Sean Nicholas Savage talking about The Lost Boys soundtrack and his favourite smells. Late last year Savage released his video for Other Death album cut “Suburban Nights” and now he’s back with a video for fellow Other Death track “Romeo”. As the video description aptly reads…
ITS A BLOOD BATH IN THE DARK ROOM
SHOT IN SHOW REEL FASHION WITH AN INTERSTELLAR CAST…
SAVAGE AND HIS FELLOW SCIENTISTS
REMINISCE OVER BYGONE SPACE TRAVEL FOOTAGE
FROM A LABORATORY HIGH IN THE NIGHT…IT SEEMS
AT THE EDGE OF THE FUTURE
THERE ISN’T MUCH LEFT TO DO BUT LOOK BACK AND WONDER…
Meanwhile, director and long-time collaborator Angus Borsos, had this to day about the video…
“Of all the oddities to be found on Other Death –– Romeo, in my opinion, is its greatest hit. It’s a a slow diffusion of indistinguishable sentiment, a whale call … something of a seismic anagram, part horizontal –– part diagonal. I tried to mirror the feeling it gave me by visually representing it in a strong array of blurbs and announcements –– layers that lure you into the music on different horizons –– soothing temporal zones, condensed evocative instances, and dispatches of cinematic devices strung together in such a way that they might be effective in any order –– a fuzzy disruption to linear experience. What is it? I don’t know exactly …”
