New Seventeen Evergreen Video - "Lunar One"

San Fran's Seventeen Evergreen are space-rockers with high-concept clip tastes. Their last vid featured an epidermal, heaven-ascending lake and a triptastic take on Creation (you're better served just watching). And this time, with the help of director Elliot Jokelson, the band's "Lunar" sounds are appropriately sent to the moon, where some slow-mo camera work gives the track's woozy orbits a fittingly 1/6 gravity feel. Points for pulling off that sweet disco split at 2:35 in cosmonaut gear, guys. Also, is that tight shot of Caleb singing in the beginning a wink and a nudge to "No Surprises"? If so ... stamped and approved.

Listen to Seventeen Evergreen's Life Embarrasses Me On Earth LP here.

Epididymal, huh? Let me guess- someone on the site also works for WebMD?? Did 'elliptic' just not appropriately capture the essence of the lake?

haa, no Kevin. check the video -- the water of said lake TURNS INTO THE FLESH OF HUMANS. srsly amazing. i forget if the lake was elliptically shaped, but that would make for some sick alliteration.

Might be me being pedantic - but wouldn't a flesh lake be "epidermal"? An epididymal lake would largely consist of sperm.

Thanks, Amrit and uglyredhonda, that makes a little more sense to me now. Cool video though, definitely.
