Video: Six Organs of Admittance: "Shelter From the Ash"
The video for Six Organs' "Shelter From the Ash", the title track from Ben Chasney's forthcoming album on Drag City (we already heard the record's "Jade Wine" here), shows a lone figure wandering a foreboding playa, gazing out over an endless expanse of dirt and twisted desert foliage. There's not much more to it than that, suggesting that director Cam Archer saw this track as an opportunity to create a mood piece, something to reflect the song's dark acoustic strumming, Chasney's repetition of the mystical refrain, and the acid guitar solo that binds it all together. Mission accomplished.
