Calmly swelling forth into this Thursday is the music video premiere of “Waitout” by A Shoreline Dream. The tune roams with soothing guitar progressions and a steady drum kick. The music video amplifies the aesthetic with a horror line featured throughout. The song is off of the released waitout purchased hereEP, which can be !
“Our latest song, titled ‘Waitout’ became the subject of a story I have been developing for 3 years now. A science fiction romance gone wrong, where two astronauts finding a spark for each other get thrown into an unexpected event that puts the two into a fight for survival. With a hallucinatory and confusing vibe, the visuals follow along with the theme of the lyrics, where when you wait for something to happen, that time sometimes backfires and creates a situation that is far from ideal.
With the lead actors being collaborators of my horror film company Bloodshed Deathbath, as well as the lead male being my bandmate in Brim Liski, the video came about quickly and the vision of what I initially conceived hit my personal mark. I’m a huge fan of what we came up with audibly for the song and visually I knew we had a challenge. How does one with little to no budget create something that looks like it’s from a space station? Well, I turned to classics such as “Pi” for inspiration. Find unique spaces. Use lights and CO2 effects to establish a vibe. Create an uneasy feeling with camera moves and frame each shot with any elements of normalcy thrown out the window. Proudly, I can say I love the way this video brought the song to life, and it’s amazing to know sci-fi doesn’t need a budget of 10 million dollars to make it all work.” – A Shoreline Dream
