Inspirational

Truckers Delight animated video clip directed by newcomer wunderkid Jérémie Périn who takes the song's title (a tribute to those little pleasures that the lonely truck- driver indulges himself in) and takes it to the next level. Think Spielberg's Duel + Russ Meyer's Faster Pussycat Kill Kill! and Marc Dorcel's wildest fantasies. All warped into an 8-bit Sega era style graphic. And this clumsy and somehow pretentious description doesn't even come close to what you're about to see: it's très funny,très dirty, -très sexy. Très Flairs indeed.

Truckers Delight EP will be available in digital and 12" on November 23th. With 2 remixes by veteran Alex Gopher of French touch fame. Who's clearly has chosen the dance floor as his home turf. And Alixander III, taking some time off his duo Azari & III, who infiltrate the track with his science for cool grooves and his trademark modern take on the classic Chicago sound.

Collaborating with director Lorenzo Sportiello and taking inspiration from a series of photographs by Greenlandic artist Arqaluarta Rosing, Carolina has used the video as a metaphor for the dramatic changes taking place in the Arctic due to climate change, beautifully evoked by the mesmeric and eerie atmosphere of the track.
 
Using a clever combination of live projections and time-lapse photography, the video is a journey through a miniature frozen landscape recording its endless transformations in shape and form.  Both crystals, snow and ice, were shot on set to make up this other-worldly landscape which starts life in monochrome and filmed against a glassy black background.  As the beat becomes more emphatic the landscape changes to mirror its intensity with washes of vivid crystal colours bathing the scenes as they merge from shapeless organic matter into angular and futuristic shapes signalling the dynamic changes happening in the Arctic regions.

"I Say Fever" - the first video from the Ramona Falls debut album Intuit. Directed by the ridiculously talented Stefan Nadelman, winner of a 2003 Sundance prize for his 22 minute film 'Terminal Bar', a prolific animator in the commericial field and the mastermind behind the Menomena Evil Bee video.

Ramona Falls is Brent Knopf's first solo venture, but he has an extensive musical resume as part of trio Menomena (an indie rock band from Portland, OR, that's snagged plaudits from such tastemakers as Pitchfork Media and the New York Times.)

Directed and Animated by Stefan Nadelman
