PHANTOGRAM UNVEILS STUNNING "FUNERAL PYRE" VIDEO (NSFW)
WATCH HERE:
New York electro-pop duo Phantogram have unveiled the stunning video for album track "Funeral Pyre." The cinematic promo is a portrait of the band's adopted home of Los Angeles, a city seemingly intent on slowly destroying itself. The director Gianluca Minucci describes the video as "a phantasmagoric journey, from dawn to dusk, with people, sites, and situations of Los Angeles. All shot from a car passenger's point of view, the video is a phantom drive in a land of nowhere, where love meets grief, loneliness, violence and desperation. It's a tragic, Pynchonian elegy, of a world destined to a destroying, but perhaps purifying, fire. A descent to hell, the swan song of a city that celebrates its funeral pyre."
The band is making its way to the iconic Reading & Leeds Festivals this weekend to wrap up the European leg of their tour, before heading back to play some headline dates and then hitting the road with Arcade Fire.
