Brooklyn synth duo Kodacrome have released a stop-motion video for their new single “Immaculada”, which you can see below. The track has some strong elements and influences of Siouxsie & The Banshees as well as dashes of Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails.
Member Elissa LeCoque explains the video:
After reading a book called ‘The Decline & Fall of Practically Everybody,’ I decided to write a series of historical portrait songs as an exercise. The piece I did on Christopher Columbus ended up being the only one I kept, and after some tweaking, it turned into ‘Immaculada.’ I was really amused by how the author, Will Cuppy was able to pair down a lifetime of obsessive ambition to a little man chasing down some cinnamon sticks in his boat. Ryan and I had been playing with the idea of water with the record so far, and had touched upon how water can be soothing, or foggy, or a slow drip, so this idea of water being a feverish vehicle for exploration was a new twist for us to work with for the album.
The track comes from the band’s upcoming debut album Aftermaths, which comes out July 8th (pre-order here).
