MODE MODERNE DEBUTS "SHE, UNTAMED" VIDEO VIA IMPOSE
NEW ALBUM OCCULT DELIGHT OUT JANUARY 21 ON LIGHT ORGAN RECORDS
“[Mode Moderne] presents themselves in a gothic glory that remakes modern favorite moments from the modernist ethic that lives on in the millennial/post-millennial free play of images and familiar sounds.”– IMPOSE
Vancouver’s post-punk revivalists, Mode Moderne, unleash a throwback 120 Minutes homage for their first single, “She, Untamed,” from their imminent album, Occult Delight. Director Daniel Rincon continues Mode Moderne’s gloom aesthetic with fuzzed-out, white noise, analogue footage of the band performing with frontman Philip Intilé’s psychedelic zombie mime character running amok throughout. Certainly a must-see if you still have a crush on Edward Scissorhands or Helena Bonham-Carter.
From Mode Moderne’s Philip Intilé: “The cat who made our record, Joshua Stevenson, picked up an original analogue video synth at a garage sale and we had to use it. It’s great, we love it. It was Daniel Rincon’s (the director) idea to use face paint and for me to use a headset microphone. Sean wore a dress. We ate snacks.”
