DeerMx – Deaf
We've told this story a couple of times before: They're two Mexicans based in Hong Kong, and until recently, they were virtually unknown in their own country. Little by little, they've carved out their niche in the global music scene with their corrosive, industrial, and sharp sound, which captivates a sizable audience in Southeast Asia and some European circles. This time... They bring us a tremendously bizarre video, in shades of gray, recorded in their current home, with an almost starving protagonist, The film visually assaults the viewer with images of war, personal attacks, racist attitudes, government repression, and other violent acts that are difficult to stomach. However, all of this is perfectly in keeping with the aggressive nature of the music. The audiovisual work is excellent.
Elegy at Sunset – City of the Beasts
Another strange clip, this time from Concepción, Chile. In this case, it's the presentation of a pleasant indie pop tune with a video full of fantasy, fear, and then liberation. The story presented isn't fully understood until the presentation ends, but The plot development is interesting and is supported by an elegant photographic concept. which, through its skillful execution, gradually distracts from the apparent shortcomings of the plot. The final conclusion is that we have watched a video of beautiful images that manages to overcome the initial confusion, leaving us, after all, with a pleasant aftertaste.
Mr. Bleat – Fog, Fire and Silence
From Medellín comes a piece that goes beyond the traditional music video, where, In addition to the classic presentation of a song, there is an argumentative time that goes beyond the duration of the sound recording. Running for seven minutes and ten seconds, the film features a narrative choreography, a mysterious rural landscape, and an ending that leaves us hanging, eagerly anticipating what will happen next. It's a thought-provoking and surprising piece of work.
