Steven Wilson: guarda il video di ‘Beautiful Scarecrow’

Steven Wilson ha pubblicato il video ufficiale di ‘Beautiful Scarecrow’, brano tratto dal suo ultimo lavoro in studio “The Harmony Codex“. Video che potete vedere di seguito.

Steven Wilson has released a stunning new video for the track Beautiful Scarecrow.

Taken from his recently released and hugely acclaimed Top 5 album The Harmony Codex, Beautiful Scarecrow is a claustrophobic and hypnotic track that acts as a brooding centrepiece of one of the albums of the year.

The video for the track is directed and animated by long term collaborator Jess Cope alongside Venkatram Viswanathan. Cope previously directed videos for Steven’s tracks The Raven That Refused to Sing, Routine, People Who Eat Darkness and King Ghost. A gothic horror story set in a post-apocalyptic world where a deadly pandemic has led to the human race being divided, with the infected rounded up and forced to live in underground quarantine, Jess’ extraordinary film continues to play on the mind long after the credits have run, showing how a simple gesture of kindness can resonate with profound meaning for years afterwards.

Jess Cope on making the video: “The video is a completely new approach for Owl House Studios. I wrote the original idea with my partner Jonathan Main and in conjunction with Venky Viswanathan and Shaheen Sheriff, we decided to pursue a 3D animation route. Our aim was to build a computer–generated world but give it the “feel and texture” of a stop motion animation. As always, Steven’s track was so exciting to work with, as the more you listen to the track the more your ears discover. The song has so much depth and richness, it allowed us to freely explore an intriguing visual narrative.”
