Ontario’s rock ‘n’ roll torchbearers, The Dirty Nil, have shared a David Lynch-inspired video for “The Light, The Void and Everything,” off their latest album, Free Rein to Passions.
The video features a cameo from Wade MacNeil of Alexisonfire, Gallows, and Dooms Children.
Frontman Luke Bentham says of the video as a homage to Lynch’s Blue Velvet:
“For years, we’ve kicked around this treatment, waiting for the perfect song to apply it to. When we heard the playback of ‘The Light, The Void and Everything,’ it was clear that the opportunity had come.
“In the execution, (producer/director/editor) Wyatt Clough’s attention to detail was stunning. I’ll never forget walking into that warehouse and seeing the fully constructed replica of the apartment from ‘Blue Velvet.’ Wade was perfect in the role of Frank and it was a pleasure to watch him play the villain.
“Finally, shout-out to our incredible friends Steph Montani, Levi Kertesz, and Dave Tyson for rounding out our cast. Everyone owes it to themselves to croon into a lightbulb at least once in their life.”
