After almost a year since releasing his album Postwar period, the Argentinian artist Palmer He decides to present the video of the most outstanding song from his compilation, The Foreigner.
As we said in the review we did of his album, This artist, whose folk rock sound reminds us of moments in Beck's work or some moments in what Jack White has done, His songs reveal his loneliness and stubbornness, elements that he knows how to exploit very well to his advantage. His music has a very particular resonance., a strange mix of rudeness and intimacy, capable of creating an interesting sense of helplessness in the middle of the crowd. The foreigner, The song in question draws on country and western influences and allows us, while it plays, smelling the desert in the middle of the asphalt.
The video uses multiple layers of urban scenes that accompany the singer as he drives his car through the streets of Buenos Aires, through the oversaturation of moving images. a pervasive visual chaos ensues which intensifies the density of the atmosphere created by the song. A low-budget clip that achieves its goal.
We said it before, we repeat it now: Palmer is an artist who deserves greater recognition among fans of good rock music on the continent. Here's a new opportunity to assist you.
