Video Of The Day SMALL PLEASURES
Small Pleasures, the Victoria, British Columbia-based minimal yet high energy DIY Post Punk two-piece made of life partners Viny (Bass/Vocals) and Nevada (Drums/Vocals/Synth), share a video by Sean Stanley for “Winnona”, the closing song on last June’s debut album, “Songs For Lovers,” to herald the upcoming Spring European Tour, while they are recording the next LP.
Multi-textural moods of light and shadow, constriction, and expansion trigger a prominent, ominously thick throbbing bassline of broody, droning magnetism, that meanders along with hard-hitting drums, trotting relentlessly off with primal rattling energy, layered by searing, shrieking slivers and whirring synth tones, while a male/female vocal interplay veers between bitter aloofness and dreamy tiredness before unifying to say, “Hold on.”

In Sean Stanley‘s video, Small Pleasures performs “Winnona” under an array of transformative overlays to lift the leaden vibe of the soundtrack into trippy, colorful expansions. Blurry neon highways at night open multi-dimensional momentums around the duo, who are lit up and traced by jewel-tone-hued illustrations, to create a thought-provoking psychedelic realm where episodes of inverted lighting and multiplying identities take hold.
