Video: Shlohmo – “Buried”

Shlohmo teams up with director Lance Drake for forthcoming LP Dark Red’s first video. “Buried” is a very bleak clip that goes exceptionally well with the producer’s dark and moody tune.  Shlohmo has said the record is intended to be” devastating and violent” and I would say tone has definitely been set.

The viewer is taken on a six minute journey whose lead character is a distraught pregnant woman giving birth on the streets of LA. The whole thing has an 80’s John Carpenter type grit to it that fits like a glove.  Look for Dark Red to drop on April 7th via True Panther.

Listen: Shlohmo - “Buried”

Henry Laufer, aka Shlohmo, enters 2015 after a productive year spent producing tunes for rising stars Jeremih and BANKS amongst others. The LA based artist recently announced that his second full-length album, titled Dark Red is set to drop on April 7th via True Panther and shared a new single from it with fans in celebration.

“Buried” retains elements found on Shlohmo’s 2013 EP, Laid Out with its uneasy and eerie vibe. According to a press release, the record is an “uncanny marriage of his ever-evolving, richly textured sound with shades of ’90s IDM, R&B, cassette-tape Jungle, and, in an unexpected turn, sludge metal.” Laufer himself said it sounded as if “Electric Wizard tried to make an R&B record, or Boards of Canada meets Burzum by the River Styx.” , you can stream it below now and pre order the full 11-track record HERE.
