What does
flipping through record bins sound like? Still Going's first
release on their newly minted label aims to find out.
Opening with
snippets of sonic whispers, instruments are soaked in super glue and thrown at
the wall. What sticks? All of it, even as some of the elements ooze down or
soar upwards. Liv's guitar, which sounds like it was cut out of a Manuel
Göttsching jam session, manages to do both simultaneously, giving new meaning
to the word "riffing".
Beeps, buzzes, and saw wave hooks impart a
seemingly random ebb and flow, but the steady punctuation of it all lays bare a
sense of purpose. Before you know it, each effect is in conversation, all at
once, like the sound of the crowd of a bar building up throughout an evening.
And who's the throaty femme singing on the track?
Why, none other than Lizzy Yoder, she of the infamous Fischerspooner. Just when
the song peaks en masse, piano, whirling around a chandelier, takes the party
outside, where they pass out in the street.
Rock & roll meets techno rebound meets dinner
theatre - and there's an unflagging house beat keeping it all together. Hear it
all at once.
A few words from
Directors Georgia and Jeffrey
Hagerman:
When we first heard the track from Still Going, we
knew instantly that we wanted the video accompaniment to feature visuals of New
York City and nightlife. The track struck us as the logical amalgamation of
decades of city living, musical knowing, and night time living. Loaded with
reference, but pulsing with an energy all it's own, we aimed to match the
track's psychedelic blend by weaving images of lights on the street with images
of lights from the Spot and glueing them together with synaesthetic lockups.
We wanted the video to feel somewhere in-between a
dream and a night. To blur the lines between going somewhere, and being right
there in the middle of it. Think of it as a synaesthetic lockup between image
and music... a direct transcription of sound to light.
