We’re pleased to bring you the premiere of Gestures & Sounds’ music video for their song “Bum Scotch Lower” (watch it below). The track is taken from the band’s upcoming EP Lighting is the Name of a Dog, which is scheduled to be released on November 16, 2018.
The band commented on the video:
The music video for ‘Bum Scotch Loser’ is set at a 10 year class reunion. We follow a character as he dips and dives from one conversation to the next. Being visual effects artists we wanted to use our skills to create a surrealist look at the lead character’s social anxiety and how it pushes him around uncomfortably through the reunion.
We’re known for the crazy visual effects we base our music videos around, but ‘Bum Scotch Loser’ is our first video that uses our effects to tell the story. Here, pianos explode, bottles are impossibly tossed, and characters act oddly to create a dream-like class reunion setting that shows how we as a band would respond to that situation.
About the band:
Gestures & Sounds is a one-stop shop for a great time. The band is gearing up to release their new record Lightning is the Name of a Dog on November 16.
“Their authentic compositions are raw and evoke real feelings, mostly because they don’t know how to be any other way. Live performances are a rollercoaster of up and higher. After high school, best friends Erik, Brian and Jory left Wisconsin to pursue film careers. Their cramped Los Angeles apartment spawned late-night muted jam sessions that put them on a new course. With their sights set on starting a band, they quickly scooped up Jeremy as their fourth best friend and drummer. And so they began their love lives as Gestures & Sounds.
Warmth in sound and lyrics is a given with these guys. From cozy and swooning to top-of-the-lungs raging. In tune with each other, the crowd, and anyone wearing flannel at any given moment in the world, G&S are equal parts melodically innovative and lyrically wrenching.
