Words: Sam Geary
Marsicans continue their busy workload in the run-up to the release of their debut album 'Ursa Major' on August 14. After recently dropping 'These Days', they return now to share the track's video partner.
Working once again with Sodium Films, the clip sees them get creative with their recent lockdown situation. Filmed during isolation, each member contributes moving and personal snapshots of their lives away from the public eye - as can be heard in the song"s chorus: "I don't want to go outside, most of the time, these days."
"The idea for the video was constantly evolving throughout the process," says
frontman James Newbigging. "Due to lockdown measures, we couldn't meet up to shoot the video so we had to film it individually ourselves; which for a song where the chorus is "I don't wanna go outside" was rather fitting. Our aim was to show the disconnect between ourselves, technology, and the outside world. We set up our various tripods (and makeshift toilet roll tripods) in our homes and did our best.
"Our friend Phil at Sodium Films then edited the video together. He conjured up some magic camera trickery which involved filming the footage playing on different kinds of screens, a big lens and some Orwellian flavouring and turned a load of separate homemade clips into a video we really love."
