San Francisco (USA)-based post-punk/indie pop band No Lights has premiered online video for the track "Sparrows". The track is taken from their upcoming album entitled Dream Eraser, which will be released through The Ghost Is Clear Records on the 9th of June.
There isn’t an obvious phonic principle that connects the post-punk, indie pop of No Lights to more than two decades of Bay Area hardcore and metal. Perhaps it’s more a family resemblance than anything else, uniting guitarist/lead vocalist Matt O’Brien (Early Graves, Grace Alley), guitarist Israel Branson (Set Your Goals), bassist Ian Miller (Kowloon Walled City, Redemption 87), and drummer Dan Sneddon (Kowloon Walled City, Early Graves).
The new video for “Sparrows” was directed by Justis Krar. No Lights’ Matt O'Brien reveals: "Thematically the song is about alienation. Although, the lyrics give a kind of nonlinear narration that is open to interpretation. Some passages could be construed as a depiction of a sex worker protagonist navigating through a cityscape of savages. Like many of the songs on Dream Eraser, the listener is invited to draw on their own experiences and decide what the song is about for them.”
Director Justis Krar adds: "Essentially, I want to juxtapose the new with the old (new cars and junkyards), and indoor spaces of ‘beauty’ (office buildings and homes) with the outdoors. Like how we think there is optimization to everything, but is optimization the point of it all?"
Like the streets of San Francisco in a Hitchcock movie, there is something familiar here, but never obvious whether it’s more beautiful or more troubling than real life. Watch the video below. Link
