Medicine Boy has shared an intimate and unobtrusive glance at the evening of their album launch in a visual release that candidly captures the dream noise pair in a compilation of steady and fleeting hand-held footage. It documents the progression of the evening through a black and white colour scheme, employing jump cuts and sharp opposing angles to create an all-encompassing montage that includes both performance and atmosphere.
Minor details such as the venue’s seats and the shuffling in of the audience is captured alongside the separate, yet captivating stage presence and mannerisms of the pair. Quick glimpses of external musicians and personnel who assisted them before and during the event also sporadically feature throughout, signifying the communal feel tied into the release’s total production.
The video’s astute play upon shadow and light structures an effect of contrast that the duo congruently attains through their manipulation of volume and intensity. ‘You’re An Animal Now’ serves as its sonic accompaniment, the track’s similarly darker tone a fitting addition to the depicted setting. The combination thus effectively facilitates an ensuing equivalence of sound and picture that constructs an earnest audio-visual representation of the outfit and their distinct brand of musicality.
