Toronto’s Timber Timbre has released a new video for “Grand Canyon” off their latest album Hot Dreams that poses the vast existential question “what the hell are we doing here?”
According to director Scott Cudmore, the thinking behind the video, “wasn’t to tell a single literal story, but rather to show fragments of many moments in many different lives, to create a series of pulled-apart vignettes but that all convey a similar theme.” “To me it’s about alienation in various forms – alienation from each other, from the planet that we live on, etc. Where have we been and where are we going? The first time I flew over the Grand Canyon I found it totally overwhelming. We’re just a bunch of ultimately insignificant beasts roaming around on a planet that we don’t really understand and that is almost impossible to reconcile our existence with. But to me that creates a sense of wonder much more so than dread or fear.”
