Video Of The Day ROCKET RULES
Rocket Rules, the Melbourne, Australia-based Jangly Dream Pop / Shoegaze duo of Baxter Barnham (instruments, lyrics) and Rachel Lam (vocals), unveil an animated video by the visual artist RNOTTÉ for the band’s first single, “I’m Waiting,” since last January’s release of their endearing debut album, “Dearden’s Number”, via Shore Dive Records.
The lyrics share what it is like to be stuck in the shadows where it is hard to notice love, and everything is out of focus, under the light of ‘Do we all know who we are?’
A laid-back, immersive and emotional song, sealed by a steady, hypnotic drum pattern and moody bass pulses, that unfolds in lush, reverbed, shimmering guitar swells, infused with gentle, hazy fuzz-laced saturation, dappled by softly rippling, wistful chimes, to breezily and effortlessly engulf dreamy, anxious female vocals, longing for connection, after a fall.
The paired visuals, created by RNOTTÉ, use colorful animations full of geometry and symbolism to sync with the sentiments of the soundtrack. Imaginative drawings abstractly depict the cycles of the sun above an urban architecture where rays and radio towers transmit energy to a slew of glowing light orbs, travelling around like cars on a neon electric highway at night.
