"...emulating their musical heroes with intoxicating enthusiasm. It's a total charmer." - Black Book
Seattle-based duo Lux
has revealed the video for “The Window”
from its debut album We Are Not The Same.
The clip, inspired by Lux’s favorite David Lynch
and Tim Burton movies, was initially
planned to be fully animated, but now stars the band’s Leah Rosen and David
Chandler (Rosen also directed
the clip.) Woody Allen was an inspiration as well. “The first scene is inspired by ‘Midnight In Paris,’ the latest Woody
flick that we watched and loved,” says Rosen.
The video is a visual representation of the abnormal
sleep paralysis and hypnogogic hallucinations that afflict Rosen. She explains, “With my disorder, sometimes I'll wake up, but
I'll still be physically paralyzed, which causes the hypnotic
hallucinations. These hallucinations
usually consist of me trying to turn on the bedroom light or screaming for someone
to wake me up. All I want to do is wake up, but I can’t.”
This kind of unique perspective has endeared new fans
to Lux since its formation in early
2010. The band’s sound, inspired by some of the most essential artists of the
era of indie and underground music (Pavement,
The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, The Magnetic Fields, The
Jesus & Mary Chain, New Order,
Blondie), features Rosen and Chandler trading off vocals, guitars, synths and drum programming.
In addition to recent coverage from Black Book and a nod for “The Window” as KEXP’s “Song of The Day,”
fans can look for Lux featured in
the upcoming June issue of MAGNET
magazine. We Are Not The Same, the
debut album by Lux is out now.
Leah Rosen and David
Chandler of Lux are available
for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
