The Warlocks eyeing Red Camera

Directed by Molly Rogers from the album, The Mirror Explodes.

The band formed in 1999 and ten years later are releasing The Mirror Explodes which they feel completes a period of sound for them. They are ready to try something new after this album.

The director went literal for this clip. The meditation and falling confetti on the other hand...

As can be seen below the director commented on the video. "I was just trying to make a film that was equal with the song. Equally hypnotic. Equally enigmatic. And equally beautiful".

School of Seven Bells eyeing My Cabal

Directed by David Mullett from the album, Alpinisms.

During an interview with National Public Radio(NPR), the band noted that their songwriting process begins with the lyrics, before adding instruments which in their eyes only serve to supplement.

An extremely basic setup, band and green screen. After those were placed in their positions camera tricks galore were used to make the video interesting. From stretch-o-vision, fisheye lens, headtracking, could serve as an ad for a video editing company. Look at what we can do...
