Washington, DC-based improv-psych group Zero Swann has unveiled the music video for “The Prismal Seed,” from their upcoming album Benefactor. Directed by band leader Jeremy Moore, the video is a vivid exploration of beauty and horror, aiming to reflect the song’s raw emotions and address themes like violence, addiction, and the hypocrisy of false altruism. Collaborating with artist Gio Del Morino, Moore’s vision is described as a "fever dream" that melds visuals and music seamlessly. The sophomore LP Benefactor will be released on October 17, with pre-orders available on Bandcamp.
Considering the juxtaposition of beauty and horror in both the music and visuals, how might this approach influence listeners’ perceptions of difficult societal issues?
