Nearing the one-year anniversary of their Tidalwave, Victoria psych duo the Backhomes have unleashed a flood of visuals for the record's distortion-drenched standout, "Solid Gold."
Scored by a blur of shoegaze guitar work, Suicide-smooched digi-drums and 'tude-oozing vocals, the video mixes together a bunch of sights. This includes a pile of dancing skeletons, an arachnid-looking mirror image presentation of oil-pumping projects and more.
The band's Aimée van Drimmelen explained in a statement: The video is a lo-fi collage of found footage (including '90s night vision footage of burning oil fields in Iraq, a Commodore 64 videogame, and oil derricks pumping), mixed with hand drawn animation by myself and psychedelic video feedback fx by Matt Krysko. The theme is pretty self explanatory. -- Exclaim!
