Like Kanye West’s “All Of The Lights” clip, this video comes with a “may cause seizures” warning. It’s funny because all of the images that actually make up the video — sunsets, lakes, caves — are the soothing scenes you usually see framed in a spa’s reception area. Speed them up and flash them, and they become some delirious nightmare. “Gaussian Castles” itself reminds me of a swamp; thick, damp, heaving. That goes for much of Transmalinnia, Lumerians’ debut album. It’s worth noting that the band converted an old church into a recording studio and home brewery. Probably a good idea to have both around when you’re recording. Watch the video and grab the track, below:

Here’s the track:

And here’s another side of the band, where they forgo the long buildup for vocal harmonies. To me it’s the most straightforward of the album’s nine tracks.

Transmalinnia is out now via Knitting Factory Records.

  1. You forgot to put the warning for “Potential Seizure-Inducing”. :)
