VIDEO: Date Rape - Cold Remains



Here's two new things from the Australian electro-noir outfit Date Rape.  The first, a video produced by Christopher Kemp for the excellent Cold Remains - lead track from their recent free eps from March earlier this year. The video was edited and adjusted in After Effects, processed through an X-box into a VCR then into an old TV and filmed on the screen through a Canon 7D, then brought in After Effects yet again and further adjusted. Multiple layers of analogy, digital and interactive feedback loop distortion of footage from classic Hammer Horror films and other occult material such as The Wicker Man, The Devil's Own, Cry of The Banshee, Horror Express, mixed into 16mm home movie clips taken from around archive.org

Second up is a brand new track titled Repeat which they threw up on their Soundcloud yesterday.  An ambient, spoken word sample piece unlike anything they have produced before. A teaser track to something more substantial coming soon.  Called Repeat, because it does work better over a longer cycle.





The Cold Remains and Machaevol eps are still up for free on the Bandcamp.
