"The original concept was to put the whole band in a line and shoot a seamless performance in black and white with no cuts. I wanted to create a performance environment where we didn't feel we'd be imposed upon by the camera, to look uninterrupted and alone. We always entertained the idea of moving the camera around but it wasn't until the week of production we really solidified our decision to put the viewer in varied proximity to the band.
Another layer to the piece was that we shot most of the footage at 12 fps which doubled the playback speed. You see that the bands movements are very rigid and almost violent at times. Much like old Charlie Chaplin films or the animation style of Tim Burton comes to mind (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride). Hype Williams was also an influence as he really championed this technique in the video for Busta Ryhmes 'Gimme Some More'.
We're simply trying to create as many layers as we can in our work. It's up to the viewer/listener how deep they want to go but there's a lot more than what's on the surface with our music and hopefully everything that goes along with it carries that same ideal."
Fairfax Recordings' new signee are winning the entire country on their coast to coast tour with ZZ WARD, which kicked off last week. All tour dates below.
THE YOUNG WILD are Bryan B William (singer/guitarist), Gareth Moore (bassist) and Brandon Zedaker (drums) who met in college in San Diego. William writes the majority of the material; Zedaker, with his drumming and production chops, excels at shaping the studio work and understanding the mechanics behind a sonic experience. Moore exists as rare combination of bassist and hype-man, taking the songs from the studio and relating them to an audience in the performance setting.The band adopt the cool chime of synth-pop and 80's rock, cut with an allegiance to soul, Motown and precision grooves.
The Young Wild are currently recording with producer Kevin Augunas (The Lumineers, Black Keys, Cold War Kids) and will be releasing their debut album in 2016.
