This Lonesome Paradise, originally from the Pacific Northwest and now inhabiting Joshua Tree, CA, has released a video for their single "Changelings" from the upcoming album Death Motels. The video portrays a desolate world filled with motorcycle riders who transition from daytime marauders to participants in nightmarish rituals. Chief songwriter E. Ray Béchard describes his music as soundtracks for imaginary films, and "Changelings" is the second part of a trilogy that started with "Let Us Prey." Set for release on March 12, 2024, Death Motels fuses western noir, trip-hop, and dark ambiance, influenced heavily by the haunting desert surroundings.
What themes do you find most compelling in the transition from day to night within the context of identity and self-exploration represented in this video?
