England's MESSENGER Premiere "Dear Departure" Video
May 8, 2014, 10 years ago
The UK's Messenger has premiered a psychedelic new video for "Dear Departure", one of the tracks from the band's recently released debut album, Illusory Blues.
The band comments on the video: "Musically, the song tries to convey a natural event of great magnitude, like an earthquake or a storm - a display of the sheer force of nature at its most merciless. It's also a reminder to the self to strive for inner calm after a storm, figuratively speaking. The video uses masking and compositing techniques to show the secret worlds that exist inside our thoughts and dreams - a utopia, of sorts, and a glimpse into the realms that exist before birth, during life, and after death.”
