Natisú There's a fire.
Here again is magnificent proof that the "Less is More" theory works perfectly if the concept is clear. In times of scarce resources and forced quarantine, the best weapons are ingenuity and understanding the situation—what we have and don't have. What this Chilean woman does, if we start noting details after watching the video repeatedly, is realize that to present this growing rock tune with psychedelic undertones, It was enough to place the artist in a single spot in front of the camera, play with medium close-ups and medium shots, and turn on various strobe lights at the right moments, And then edit at will, marking every second of the song with bold precision and using colors of varying tones to captivate the viewer with the intensity of the final product. Brilliant work.
The Republic – City of Light
Let's start by stating the obvious: This clip is stunning from every angle. It boasts exquisite execution, meticulous craftsmanship, and a remarkable selection of graphic elements. Many hours of editing went into this, with attention paid to the smallest details, from the dog crawling across the screen at a rabbit's pace, to the images with clear references to the oppressive aesthetics of the mid-20th century, and the effective use of a classic yet fitting scene with its cluster of old televisions. It fully accomplishes its mission of conveying the evening nostalgia of the song by this Colombian band, initially formed in the city of Chicago, with a blues rock sound. This is one of those videos where the visual production achieves the difficult goal of powerfully showcasing the sound it represents. Achieving that, dear readers, is no easy feat, and in this case, it's accomplished brilliantly.
Light Walrus – The City
Now let's return to the seventies. Or, better yet, to a fitting representation of that decade: the years of bell-bottom trousers, cars with dashboards of simulated plastic-coated wood, and the initial glow of glass balls hanging from the rearview mirror. From Córdoba, accompanied by the gold of eccentric personal jewelry and the melancholy of the southern autumn, We are presented with a beautifully crafted pop ballad, accompanied by a video made with more ingenuity than budget., which leaves a pleasant, mild aftertaste, yet another example of the good health of Argentine indie pop in 2020.
