NEWS: Dinowalrus Takes a Trip in the Psych-heavy "Tides" Video

October 20, 2016  •  Leave a Comment

After the release of their fourth studio album Fairweather, synth-psych stalwarts Dinowalrus have debuted another video, this time for their track “Tides.” The video’s distorted color saturation and blurred time-lapse effects match the psychedelic vibe of the track from the onset. Waking up in the middle of the woods with mysterious tattoos, the band members wander in confusion, searching for each other and a meaning. The video is now streaming exclusively via PopMatters.

 

Although heavily dosed with electronics, FAIRWEATHER contrasts the dystopian industrial arpeggiators of their previous albums with a warm, timeless palette of organs, looped breakbeats, and radio-ready vocals, including the occasional psychedelic flourish of reversed guitars and exploding delay trails. As a result, the music moves forward by looking back, bringing to mind the work of contemporaries like Jagwar Ma, Tame Impala, and Deerhunter, while also incorporating some of the more exciting and psychedelic pop sounds of the early ’90s Creation Records back catalog with aesthetic nods to The House of Love, Primal Scream, and Ride.

 

In NYC? Check out Dinowalrus in all their synth-psych glory at Alphaville tonight, 10/20.
