Video Of The Day PROPTER HOC
Propter Hoc, the Electronic Post-punk solo project of the Glasgow, Scotland-based artist and writer J. A. Harrington, teases his forthcoming 10-track album, “Dramaturgy,” due on June 25th, via Cold Transmission Music, with an Official Video for the second single, “Chronophobia.”
Blending erratic, groovy electronic rhythmic patterns with shimmering, emotive acoustic/electric 6-string arrangements, the song deals with the lasting theme of a person feeling out of place in a familiar setting.
Steady lashing beats bounce along with moody pulsing bass lines, and clattering, and stuttering percussive overdubs, layered with strummed shimmery guitars with a passionate ringing edge and wistful, poignant New Order-esque low tones, to surround smooth baritone croons, hung by the heavy weight of “Chronophobia.”
In the Official Video, a colorful digital wall of clocks sets the dystopic backdrop for Propter Hoc as he sings and plays guitar in sync with the “Chronophobia” soundtrack. Cut scenes show barbed wire and dandelion seeds blowing in the wind to evoke the nagging, imprisoned mindset one might get from being obsessed with and fearful of time. The clip ends with natural black-and-white imagery of antiquated architectures that prominently display the mechanical clocks of our ancestors, before an iron jail door closes and locks in place.
