New York, NY – Brooklyn via Austin, Synth-Pop outfit Neon Indian today unveiled the new video for the widely, well-received single “Mind Drips”. Directed by Lars Larsen, the video features for the first time ever, the use of the LZX Visionary – a brand new piece of technology developed by Larsen and his partner Edward Leckie which manipulates and creates images in the same way a musical synthesizer does for sound. The resulting video is one that compliments the track perfectly, bringing to life the sounds of the song with vibrant colors and imagery.
Hailing from Austin, TX, Larsen is an electronics designer and multimedia artist who’s own work focuses on synergistic relationships between technology and subject and the resurrection of forgotten pre-Computer Age technologies. For this music video, Larsen used the new LZX Visionary in the tradition of esoteric video art tools used in the 1970’s. All of the visual effects were recorded in real-time using techniques such as abstract pattern synthesis, video feedback, and analog compositing.
The single “Mind Drips” is off Neon Indian’s current album Psychic Chasms, released via FADER Label / Static Tongues earlier this year and augmented by Mind Ctrl: Psychic Chasms Possessed, which contains nine bonus tracks consisting of exclusive remixes and cover versions by Toro Y Moi, DNTEL, Bibio, Javelin, YACHT and more.
This December Neon Indian will head to Australia to perform select dates before returning in the New Year to perform with the Flaming Lips in Dallas, TX. Head over to http://www.myspace.com/neonindian to get the most up-to-date details and news announcements.
