Music Video Monday is lost is cyberspace!
Swimware are an instrumental band consisting of Jake Vest, Greg Faison, and Alex Pilkington. You might be familiar with them from some of their previous work with Tiger High, The Bulletproof Vests, Dream Team, and as collaborators with the late Clay Otis. The friends have always been musical chameleons, and this iteration sees them exploring the synth-heavy sounds of the ’80s.
MVM is bringing you a double-shot of Swimwear with two super-fun videos by the band and versatile Memphis artist St. Francis Elevator Ride. The first is called “Dial Up,” which, for the youngs out there, is how we used to get our interwebs on. Creating this high-flying video involved “Two solid months of rotoscoping out the flight cables and harnesses,” says St. Francis Elevator Ride. “It has a bit of a modern day Three Stooges / Duck Soup thing going on.”
Second is a clip for “The Net 2.0.” “Yup that’a a direct reference to the Sandra Bullock, Carl Reiner adored, cyberterrorist classic,” says St. Francis Elevator Ride. Log on now!
