"And we've been lost for so long..."
So for over a month I have been obsessed with the NYC based band, Violens (“vy-lenz”): http://www.myspace.com/violensmusic and it all started with their video for their song “Doomed.” According to their lead singer, Jorge Elbrecht, the song was inspired by coral reefs and this really pretty girl he knows.
Why is this video so brilliant? It matches the song so well. It sorta has this whole Virgin Suicides feel to it. I love how the girls are just going about their normal day-to-day business and you know something is up. You get somewhat of an idea when the short haired blonde takes some photos, but it all comes together when the last girl arrives, some sort of Winston Wolf problem solver. I love the feeling of “What next?” and us not really knowing.
xoxo,
Stefania
