Deerhunter debut ‘Living My Life’ video
Debut ‘Living My Life’ Video
Fading Frontier out October 16th
Ahead of this Friday’s release of their highly anticipated record Fading Frontier and forthcoming worldwide tour, Deerhunter have debuted a new track, ‘Living My Life’.
The third track to be shared by the band follows the mutant funk of ‘Snakeskin’ and luminous single ‘Breaker’. As with ‘Breaker’, Deerhunter kingpin Bradford Cox has taken on directorial duties for the video for ‘Living My Life’. Dedicated to Miles Davis, the Atlantan describes it as, “macro meditations on geology and botany to the observations of afternoon light filtered onto the wooden floors. The idea was to have a formless visual that does not conform to the overwhelming cleverness and narrative ambition of most modern videos. Instead we have a sometimes ridiculous, and sometimes hypnotically beautiful, mess of images and rhythm. The final section of the video, in particular, could be a teenage garage band take on Tarkovsky’s Solaris. Various chemicals and dyes were used to create a liquid fantasia for the song’s transcendent climax.”

Fading Frontier, Deerhunter’s seventh studio album, was written and recorded in the band’s hometown of Atlanta, GA, with production duties shared by the band and Ben H. Allen III, continuing a collaboration that began with 2010’s acclaimed Halcyon Digest. Fading Frontier also features contributions fromBroadcast’s James Cargill and Tim Gane from Stereolab.
