On first listen to “Winter Hill“‘s chilly repetitions, I thought of Steve Reich, not an extreme cyclist, but the Kingdom Of Rust track does start quickly — like you’re catching it in media res — so the David Mould-directed out-of-the-gates bicycling action makes sense. The concept? Some sort of anti-Pied Piper, charismatic outsider thing. It’s an aesthetically appealing clip, shot roughly and lo-fi with heavy shadows, obscured framing, and security cams. (Please note: The stunt cyclist’s Danny MacAskill, not Lou Barlow.)

Kingdom Of Rust is out via Astralwerks.

  2. Gotta say that this song just doesn’t hit it off with me. The Kingdom of Rust video was better too.

    How about releasing Greatest Denier? That’s a good one!

    This is not their best video but it’s not bad.
