Here’s a new music video for “Nine Years Old,” a song from local outfit k i d s. The tune is taken from a brand new album, the title of which is so impossibly convoluted it deserves its own paragraph:
SOUNDTRACK FOR THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE​.​.​. “COVER YOUR FACE IN CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, CLOSE YOUR EYES and TRY TO REMEMBER THE ONES YOU LOVE”
(What is this, Fiona Apple or some shit?)
Seriously, though, the album is good (stream/download it here), and “Nine Years Old” is an arresting tune, all lethargic, fuzzed rhythm and sex-addled guitar leads. Mastermind K. Jared Collins explains in characteristically oblique fashion:
I completed a pre-album conceptual project based on a made-up movie that plays while in a christian holiday themed sensory deprivation tank. It kinda plays like a grindhouse film watched by yourself when you’re too young to really get it. As a whole it’s about burning bridges, revisiting repressed emotions and remembering why you were who you were. My ex-wife accidentally stars in the video for the single’ “NINE YEARS OLD.”
So. There ya go. It’s safe for work, but given the, uh, performance of the woman in the video, let’s hope this whole thing’s not “accidentally” illegal.
