tQ favourites MY DISCO have shared a new video for ‘King Sound’ taken from their 2015 album, which ranked highly among our favourite albums of 2015. You can watch the video above right now.
The video is a monochrome affair directed by Johann Rashid who said the following about working with the band on the video: “I am combining my struggles with sleep with my collaboration between a band that was an armature for my early 20s. A frame made of wire sounds. MY DISCO would focus me and clarify my core with their rhythmic scaffold. For me they were an energy and a meditation, especially in their live shows. That immediacy of contact with the music, the band, that confrontation, is irreplaceable. But the music itself is abstraction, so I didn’t want to capture it literally. I wanted to capture how it can’t be captured – that mesmeric throb in our technology infused minds in the deep dark of night.
“I leave my head and return to the exterior world, which inevitable reflects the interior… I have the keys to a place on Ave A called Elvis Guesthouse. I lock myself inside… I fill the room with smoke and lights… I create the dark feeling of being in a club by myself. In fact I am in a darkened club by myself. Fogged and flickered with light. Sound so loud. I make something simple to catch that feeling I had those years ago, when MY DISCO held me like an image on a screen, like interference in my brain, and built their vibrations into my core.”
MY DISCO will play a number of UK shows next month including a tQ-presented appearance at London’s Corsica Studios for which you can get tickets here. You can find the full run of UK dates below.
