Holy shit, dude, I’m psyched! I just learned how to embed videos using html and I’ve been just ITCHING to embed the everloving c-r-a-p out of some unsuspecting “clip” from YouTube or Hulioo or Vee-space or whathaveyou so that I can just sit back and relax in the satisfaction that it’s probably being “shared” at any given moment with a bunch of anonymous-ass motherfuckers. And lo and behold: BLUES CONTROL to the RESCUE!
Turns out that the krautrocky duo just put out an official music video for “Open Air,” one of the more mellowed offerings from last year’s TMT-tested, TMT-approved Valley Tangents LP. It was directed by Tara Sinn (who also directed what I and your 1990s music teacher would describe as a “funky-fresh” video for “Love’s a Rondo”) and purports to create an “apastoral-like terrain, communicating the song’s ambient qualities, which slowly builds aurally and visually with footage that becomes progressively more experimental as it approaches its denouement.”
Oh shit, wait! Did that press-release description just spoil the whole thing for you? Ahhh crap, sorry! Man, and I worked so hard to embed the damn thing too (you have to embed stuff one pixel at a time, you know. It took me three weeks to do this!!!). Well nevermind, I’m cool. And the good news is that the band is also headed to Europe for a while in June and July to support Valley Tangents. And there’s little chance of me spoiling that for you by describing it ahead of time, because I’ll be here in Chicago the whole time, carefully embedding my next video.
