The new Soft Metals‘ LP Lenses is out now on Captured Tracks, and today the band released the video for “Tell Me“. Using the album’s seductive cover art as it’s launching point, which was actually a “still” from the video piece “Hardcore“, by the art duo Erin Frost & Shaun Kardinal, editor Eva Aguila takes the original film, cutting and looping it, while adding some neon-flavored color compositing. Featuring some seriously heavy petting, the film and video really get to the heart of our media obsessed culture by exploring the dynamics between the exhibitionist and voyeur in each of us. And that seems like an entirely fitting theme for the kind of music Soft Metals make!
