Pittsburgh, PA post-punk/shoegaze/dream pop/darkwave band Lowsunday have revealed the video for their latest single “You’re So Wired“.
The track features on their ‘Low Sunday Ghost Machine-Black EP’ recently released via Projekt Records. Grab it here.
Capturing the roller-coaster experience of being drawn to a highly energetic, erratic individual, who blurs the line between imagination and everyday life, this song channels a vibrant, alternative rock spirit that ultimately celebrates breaking free into a state of liberated peace.
Speaking about the song and the video, Shane Sahene says:
“‘You’re So Wired’ is a song that touches on a manic type of experience. It also touches on the classic Chuang Tzu question, after having had a vivid dream: “am I man dreaming I am a butterfly or am I a butterfly dreaming I am a man?” — The experience of not knowing if you’re awake or dreaming. In this case, the rapid eye movements shown in the video capture both dreaming and erratic behavior, making it hard to interpret which is which” .
“In the video, I love the way Jer shows the subject looking through a camera – like a search for honesty or an altered reality. It relates to the song like a form of detachment – just one step removed. Ultimately it’s the experience with this type of person – that when they’re gone, you miss the excitement they create and when you’re together, the unpredictably can feel overwhelming. I enjoy the idea of being in a permanent dream state, like an overlay to reality, where one is only stabilized by their dreams. The beauty of the video comes when the escape has been made – just as the song opens up in the bridge – it captures a freedom that had been searched for and finally found.”
Bobby Spell adds: “For me, our ‘Black EP’ is deceptive, opening with energetic and wistful ‘You’re So Wired’ but followed by songs that are melancholy and introspective. These are the strongest songs we’ve yet done. With strong and memorable melodies, they invoke feelings of isolation and sadness, but in a way that feels familiar instead of depressing, leaving a sense of hope.”
“And this video perfectly reflects the energy of this song – it feels light and energetic. It’s whimsical, a bit punk rock and a little bit dreamy escapism. Visually the video expresses this feeling with the primary character being a somewhat chaotic but interesting and enigmatic person.”
