MS MR's Audio-Visual Culture

The duo presents “Hurricane”, a video full of visual stimuli

Would you be able to condense every image that had an impact on your life in less than four minutes? New Yorkers MS MR try to, at least, in the video for “Hurricane”, with a string of images that go from films like “Edward Scissorhands” to vintage ads and clippings of audio-visual icons such as MTV. After pressing play, we understand perfectly why the duo likes to define their sound as “tumblr glitch pop”. If you like what you hear, you can download the track here, in exchange for your email address.

Geo-magnetic storms on “Toldyall”

In order to put images to “Toldyall”, the second cut from the recent “Memory” (Monkeytown, 2012) by Lazer Sword, Portuguese director Miguel Bidarra edited fragments of Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt's audiovisual “20 Hz” installation for the “Campos Invisibles” expo at the Arts Santa Mònica in Barcelona. The images are the representation of a geo-magnetic storm in the upper atmosphere, and along with the San Francisco duo’s galactic composition, they make for a hypnotic experience, abstract and suggestive.

Johan Agebjörn and Le Prix remix “Days Don’t Fade”

New Yorkers Lindbergh Palace, tired of being just another synth-pop band, gave their old track “Days Don’t Fade” (originally released two years ago on their self-titled EP) to Johan Agebjörn and Le Prix, so that they could give it the 80s varnish and Italo halo they use for their own productions. The result is, without a doubt, much more exciting and addictive than the original.
