Premiere: Thomas Molander's "Third Walk" is a Psychedelic Dream of the Past and Future
“Our faces on wet grass, our walk is ending at last…” Thomas Molander’s warm and fuzzy vocals drift with us through a psychedelic daydream of what life used to be like, while offering a silver lining vision for what tomorrow may bring.
Today Molander premieres the music video for his song Third Walk, off his recently released album The Walk. The video directed by Sandy Spink, Toronto-based designer and director, and was created with the video game engine Unity, the programming language Max/MSP, and the video editing software Adobe Audition.
The video’s concept hinges on the contrast between analogue and digital aesthetics, mirrored by the music’s embracing of antiquated and modern recording styles. New words and landscapes emerge cyclically, building themselves and deteriorate endlessly. Walls fall and a building rises up from the sea amidst a perspective slowly creeping and rotating.
For fans of The Kinks, 60s fuzz, and early-internet psychedelic aesthetics, this one’s for you.
