Altered Zones

Much like the previous LA Vampires and Matrix Metals videos, this new clip, directed by Spencer Longo and Jon Clark, brings us to a wonderland of artifice. However, this time around it’s much more Lisa Frank than Sunset Blvd. This clip takes us into an imaginary and stylised version of Longo's design process who, as you will quickly notice, designed the cover art for the So Unreal LP. Vibrantly colored still images take on a life of their own. Meanwhile, LA Vampires’ Amanda Brown brings her late ’80s/early ’90s diva act to a space full of smoke machines, Tesla coils, and other oddities of the Spencer’s Gifts variety. The off-tune cassette sounds provided by Matrix Metals, along with Brown’s wind-blown voice gives the whole clip a feeling of comforting sensationalization. If nostalgia comes into play, it makes me long for those Laser Disc memories that I never had. (via Visitation Rites)
