RABBITS Unveil New Analogue Video For The Track So Fake It’s Real; Euro Tour With ÅRABROT Incoming
Following the recent Lamb Unlimited release of RABBITS’s contaminated third LP, Untoward, the horde now infects the media with their official video for the track So Fake It’s Real. Following in the same “digital can suck it” ethos of the LP — recorded live to tape, only overdubbing vocals and solos — as well as their recently recorded live session at the KEXP radio station studio in Seattle, the So Fake It’s Real video was constructed by Whitey McConnaughy (Red Fang, OFF!, ZZ Top), who took DIY to new levels of dementia to create one of the most caustic handmade videos to be found.
“I’ve wanted to do a video like this for some time and was looking for the right band/song and RABBITS fit the bill all the way around. I had gotten bored with the clean perfect look of all the HD videos out there and wanted to shoot something that had a lot of texture, grit and personality to it and HD has none of that,” McConnaughy states in a sequential breakdown of the So Fake It’s Real creation process.
The man succeeded with staggering success, utilizing fully analog equipment and unorthodox manufacturing methods, infusing chemicals, lasers, skateboards, stomping techniques, pillow cases, coffee filters, a Fisher Price Pixel Vision camera and more to visually capture RABBITS in the filthiest possible state. He continues, “There is absolutely no digital effects used in the making of the video. Everything is analog, with equipment made well before 1985. The only thing modern was the editing system that I used but it was just simple cuts, I didn’t do any real color correction because it is what it is. It’s not perfect, it’s jagged, it’s rough, it’s messy; it’s how life really is and that’s why I like it.”
Gear Gods is now hosting the official So Fake It’s Real video alongside a step-by-step photo/text breakdown of the video’s construction at THIS LOCATION.
