CITY OF INDUSTRY: Seattle hardcore punk outsiders drop experimental, Stan Brakhage-inspired video for title track from new album Spiritual West
Flood Magazine has premiered the video for “Spiritual West,” the title track off the new album by Seattle’s City of Industry.
Stream the song, here: https://floodmagazine.com/118912/city-of-industry-spiritual-west-first-listen/
Pre-order the LP via No Funeral Records: https://store.nofuneral.ca/product/city-of-industry-spiritual-west-vinyl
Pre-order the cassette and CD via Modern Grievance: https://cityofindustry.bandcamp.com/album/spiritual-west
The song showcases the band’s experimental side, departing from its impassioned, encrusted hardcore (think Converge, His Hero Is Gone, Dystopia) in favor of “ambient unease,” as Flood describes it.
Video director Adam Walker names Stan Brakhage (Dog Star Man) as an influence on his work: “I used a variety of implements to achieve the texture and shapes on the film, using exacto knives, wire scrubbers, sand paper, and even a power drill.”
The new album was recorded by Nich Wilbur (Mt. Eerie, Sumac); mixed and mastered by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Gouge Away).
A West Coast tour starts in November.
