https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eetM9M7QNZg#t=235 Die So Fluid, a gothic rock band from London and Los Angeles, has just released the official music video for their newest single “Landslides” off their album The Opposites of Light, to be released in the US later this year. Grog of Die So Fluid says of the track “Landslides”:
[It] is a track from the darker, more introspective side of our new album ‘The Opposites Of Light’. The song is about intense desire and loyalty. The video is an emotional and psychedelic trip into a shamanic desert scene highlighting the dream-time qualities of the song. The lyrics were partly inspired by my fascination with Carlos Castaneda, a kind of cult leader who wrote books about shamanism. Narrated in first person, they have sold millions but some critics say they’re works of fiction. He had three female followers who lived with him, changed their names, and cut off ties to family and the outside world. They mysteriously disappeared after his own death. The remains of one of these women was found in Death Valley near where her abandoned car had been discovered. I directed this video myself and used a Go Pro camera that a very generous Die So Fluid fan gave me. We filmed it at the magical Vasquez Rocks where Star Trek was shot, I’m lucky to live nearby. I just let the ancient land speak to me and the visions flow.
The band is also launching a mini tour across Finland from September 3rd through the 7th. Be sure to check out the video and the tour if you’re in the area!
