THE PHARMACY – DIG YOUR GRAVE (MUSIC VIDEO) from brendhan bowers on Vimeo.
The “Dig Your Grave” video premiered today on Noisey!
Here’s what they had to say:
In Les Blank’s 1980 film essay Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe, Herzog tells young filmmakers that if they really want to make a film, steal a camera and raw stock. Brendhan Bowers seems to have taken his advice. We’re not saying that he stole a camera or anything. What we’re saying is that any band out there crying about how it’s so hard to find money to make a record or a video or whatever they want to do should stop being babies and pick up a camera.
This winter, Brendhan self-produced a video for his band, Seattle-based garage-rockers the Pharmacy. The song is called “Dig Yr Grave,” and it’s a punky, Merseybeat-inflected banger off an upcoming EP of same name. You can order the album through Kind Turkey right here.
The song manages to be incredibly catchy while remaining oddly hostile. Imagine what the British Invasion would have sounded like if the aggression been literal. In the video, the trio (which also features Stefan Rubicz and Scottie Yoder) murder a woman in a grainy graveyard and perform, clad in face paint and white robes, against a hellscape of burning amps and drum sets. It’s all shot on 16mm film and has a creepy, ghostly quality to it.
