Music Video Monday fell to Earth.
Aquarian Blood’s new album Bending the Golden Hour is set for release on May 28. (You can pre-order the record on Bandcamp.) J.B. Horrell says the lead single, “Bolted and Embossed,” is about “alienation — emotional, physical, mental, spiritual and/or creative uncertainty — when true north is lost or obscured and how we are motivated by faith, fear, love, loss, and inspiration to realign and get back to the sweet spot where all is right again, at least for a minute. The reward for finding the strength to bounce back to happiness is not a trophy — bolted and embossed — but the peace of mind that comes with it.”
For the low-fi video, Horrell and his partner/wife Laurel suited up to make the alienation literal. “It’s about doing the Jackie Fargo strut wearing a nude body suit in a busy public park on a beautiful Saturday afternoon!” J.B. says.
He says the video features camerawork by Mykah, TK, Ava, and David, as well as some Plan 9-worthy special effects by Phillip Etheridge. Enjoy, puny humans!
