Slow undulations of sonic relief with velvet rich textures, The American Dollar paints a breathtaking aural landscape that is unmistakably their own. Having played together for the past seven years, John Emanuele (drum, keyboard, bass, guitar) and Rich Cupolo (guitar, keyboard, bass, percussion) show their seemingly effortless musical talents. Creating here this post-rock/experimental song for you.
Starting with the flat dead desert this music video evolves into a green mountain view and lush landscapes. It is a very lovely piece of work, perhaps almost to calming and quite sweet and emotional at times. But I do not expect to see this at my gym plastered all over the monitors.
But here is what the amazingly talented guys at Onesize explain briefly of the concept and production of this lovely music video:
Info: After hearing work from ‘The American Dollar’ we really felt the urge to create a music video for one of their new songs. Inspired by the music we had the idea of making a decaying world. One single cameramovement from left to right, showing a landscape, looping 9 times. Day becomes night and even the seasons go by. After we finished the production, we decided to reverse the whole video. This gives you a seamingly happy end, but you know what’s going to happen. There are no lyrics and we did not pay attention to the title of the song, we just felt this was the right thing to do.
