Los Angeles rockers Carsex are premiering their music video for “Landmine” exclusively through BraveWords. The track is taken from their new EP Human Interest – out tomorrow, June 6. The “Landmine” video is directed by Chris Michael.
Carsex singer Nigel Burk says “‘Landmine’ is a follow-up to our song ‘Your Lesson’, which delved into succumbing to various forms of temptation and how we’re taught to fear divine retribution if we fall prey to these desires. ‘Landmine’ takes it a step further – it’s like a bad acid trip where everything is distorted… You come to the realization that there is no absolution and you’re going to burn anyway. It’s like walking through a field of landmines – you’re going to blow up, no matter what you do.”
Director Chris Michael explains the “Landmine” video concept: “I teamed up with my buddies in Carsex to bring their video ‘Landmine’ to life. This track’s a banger, and I was honored to storyboard and shoot it. The concept dives into the effects of an acid trip: The cool blue colors for the initial calm, then harsh reds and awkward angles take over as the hallucinations hit. We swapped the mic for a grenade to push the hallucinatory theme further.”
He continues: “We were under red and blue lighting for hours so long we actually thought we were tripping…. Some of the guys swore the colors were shifting and moving. Everything about the shoot stayed true to the theme: chaos, distortion, and the constant threat of land mines.”
