Venus Furs release Oscar Wilde inspired video – New Inspiration

VENUS FURS RELEASES NEW VIDEO FOR ‘NEW INSPIRATION’ IN A NOD TO OSCAR WILDE

ALBUM OUT NOW ON SILK SCREAMING RECORDS
Canadian psych-gazer, Venus Furs returns today with a new video for New Inspiration, a psychedelic exploration into the soul of the track.

New Inspiration was directed by Justis Krar of IMMV Productions, who has previously worked with Zoon and Mundy’s Bay. On the background of the video, Krar says: “I wanted to present the visuals as a relation to both the lyrical tone and musical tone of the song. Heavily affected visual effects layered onto night time footage created a lushness that I feel when listening to the song. Ending the video with a visual effect that I’ve never seen or made before was a wonderful surprise for me, and I think matches the madness at the end of the song.”
“This is a late-night, moody song about needing to accept that you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped – watching someone go down dark or dangerous paths time and time again, and trying to help them, but not being able to if they don’t want things to change themselves,” explains Paul Kasner, aka Venus Furs. “The title refers to the character’s motivation to put themselves in harm’s way – the desire to alleviate boredom in their search for new inspiration, and there’s a nod to Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray in the lyrics (“Casually he introduces himself, As the wild son of love and death”).”


This track features on the Venus Furs S/T album that you can pick up and stream now from Bandcamp.

I am a photographer/musician/engineer living in Scotland. My passion is music and motocross and I share my work on facebook/punk4RT and facebook/madmaxmedia. I do like a bit of throw back to the heydays of the 60’s/70’s/80’s when it comes to taking shots of bands. I grew up on the music papers (NME/Sounds/Melody Maker) and drew influence from Pennie Smith/Jill Furmanovsky/Anton Corbijn/Bob Gruen/Adrian Boot/Charles Peterson.
