Telekinesis releases video, In A Future World

Telekinesis releases new video, "In A Future World".

Today, Telekinesis shared the new video for “In a Future World” from Ad Infinitum which will be in stores on September 18. Featuring an astronaut finding his way in a foreign land, the video conveys a sense of adventure and longing for connection felt by explorers everywhere.

Don’t miss Telekinesis on the road with Say Hi beginning October 1. Ad Infinitum is available for pre-order now on CD and limited-edition snow-white vinyl in the Merge store, and digitally via iTunes. All LP purchases will include three bonus tracks as a download.

Director Justin Lapriore’s statement about the video:

We met. We drank ample amounts of bourbon, which is fitting. There are things that get better with age: ’60s space lore, my dad’s dented stainless suitcase, the foggy memory of movies from our formative years, and bourbon.

Michael’s studio was a spaghetti-mess of wires, knobs, and analog synths. A beautifully organized dichotomy. Old machines making the sounds of the future. Let’s shoot for something like that. We were going to completely trust this video to the jumpy, glitchy uncertainty of film and a garage sale camera.

I watched Michael tweak countless knobs and reroute patch cables, searching for the sound of Ad Infinitum. Let’s put a spaceman in the woods, the beach, the car. Let’s have him looking for something. It was a simple, appropriate concept. Uncharted sonic moon beaches. Better bring your helmet.

Space travel is lonely. Always seeking the sound of anything familiar. Twisting knobs and punching keys, locking in coordinates for a forest or lookout point. Like metaphoric moon boots in the Pacific, only some of this is true, and none of it matters, because in a future world, there’s nothing to say.
