Video: Chromatics: "Killing Spree"
More of an art film than a music video, this piece for Chromatics' "Killing Spree"-- a highly cinematic instrumental from their 2007 album Night Drive-- features ridiculously beautiful high-contrast b&w images that were, according to the YouTube comments, shot with a Soviet Pentavax Cinemataire 12mm camera. Directed by Glass Candy member Johnny Jewel, who also helmed the video for Chromatics' "In the City", the vapor-trail lights and coal-black shadows on display mirror the shimmering synths and rumbling bass pedals of the track, and ultimately the images come together to tell a dark story. (The video is identified as the "censored version," so we'll see if another emerges.)
