Echo Lake - Young Silence

Here’s the new video for the title track from Echo Lake’s forthcoming Young Silence 12″ EP, which drops on Valentine’s Day on No Pain In Pop. Sort of like a low-budget — and cooler looking — version of Radiohead’s “House of Cards” video, but instead of lasers, these ghostly apparitions were rendered with nothing but a Kinect and some custom software by Daniel Nixon of XXJFG fame. Dan says:

“As far as I know (and I’m scared of checking) this is the first music video to be made with the Microsoft Kinect camera. The footage was shot on that piece of £130 equipment and recorded to custom software running on a laptop. The depth data was then manipulated to get the whole band in one ’space’ and then the fun started.

Or alternatively: hi-tech D.I.Y.”

Echo Lake’s Young Silence 12″ EP is out February 14 on No Pain In Pop.
