Dirty Projectors - Gun Has No Trigger
- 12 years ago
DIR: David Longstreth
DP: Bobby Bukowski
Ed: Nick Carew
In support of Swing Lo Magellan, Dirty Projectors' new album out July 10th, the band has unveiled a stunning video for lead single Gun Has No Trigger. The video marks David Longstreth's directorial debut:
GUN HAS NO TRIGGER is about the possibility for true dissent, and how I can't figure out what that could
be. What is a 2012 Exodus from the Society of the Spectacle (to mix language Situationist and Rastafari)?
So we made a video from the iconography of the default profile image used by Facebook and Gmail, and
also the look of the classic Apple iPod commercials.
The colors in the background are the ones I think of when I hear the harmonies of Amber and Haley (via
experimental synesthesia).
Enjoy!!
DAVID LONGSTRETH
