Toronto nouveau nostalgia art-pop act For Esmé have just released a hazy 70s inspired new video for their synthy smooth delight “Make A Sound”. Made in part with Puncture Design (the creatives behind WayHome) the video is a VHS dream that sends the band back in a time machine. As singer Martha Meredith explain…
Remember staying up to catch something special airing on late night television? Maybe something you weren’t supposed to be seeing? Remember scrounging around for a VHS tape you could record it onto? So often I accidentally recorded over something else, or there were glitches in the tape. We’re taking you on a trip back to the days before youtube, where your only chance to hold onto an iconic TV moment was to record it yourself.This video I think represents a timelessness that we long for and I hope this prompts us all to enjoy a little more of “the moment”.
Check out the throwback video above.
For Esmé’s record Sugar is out now. Grab it today via bandcamp. You can also catch them at SXSW, March 19th at Barracuda Backyard playing the Pop MTL showcase.
