A Place To Bury Strangers shares new "Now It's over" video
A Place To Bury Strangers have shared a striking animated video for "Now It's Over" off of Transfixiation out now on Dead Oceans. Cloaked in brooding rhythms and shoegaze fuzz, "Now It's Over" is a haunting tale of woe from the experimental Brooklyn outift. Featuring a protagonist who's never quite in focus, shapeshifting shadows and a stormy, night-time drive, the video for "Now It's Over" is every part as ominous and bleaks as its name suggests.
Speaking of the final product, director and lead animator Dave Merson Hess explains, "I loved the mood of 'Now It's Over', and the way the lyrics and arrangement captured the feeling of a breakup as a complete destruction of a particular, insular reality, a way of living being ripped apart at the seams, on both vague and sudden terms. Film noir felt like a perfect match for it. The inevitability of failure built into the genre fit the song's lyrics, murky, reverbed vocals, and jagged guitar sounds."
