Snipe Likes: Memory Tapes
John Rogers | Wednesday 23 June, 2010 13:28
One of the better things to come out of the recent swathe of reverb-ridden bedroom pop bands known to internet indie-kids alternately as “glo-fi” or “chillwave” is the resurgence of nice looking video clips. Stock nature footage is overlaid with educational tape stuff or crackly video of the night sky; the colours are either bleached out like old camera film or have the contrast blasted up to a lurid eleven. Everything double-exposed or rolling lazily or spinning with retro effects. This is a double-exposed gem of a video for the hyped-but-good Memory Tapes. Lovely stuff.
