Beautiful Lunar Landscape Video in Production
August 04, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
A Beautiful Lunar Landscape music video is currently being shot in Bordeaux, France by the wonderful Swedish music video / short film director Jimmy Olsson for the title track off the band's September released EP, Alone In This Dark Romantic Night. Inspired by directors such as Tarkovsky, Bergman and Fassbinder, Stockholm-based Olsson has earned a rapidly growing reputation for his unique style. Unlike many of his contemporaries Olson manages to steer away from a reliance upon heavy handed post-production, instead adopting a contemplative, naturalistic style that sits perfectly with the subtle and beautiful nuances in BLL's music. Once complete, the full video will be available on the Hidden Shoal website, as well as all good music video shows.“ever wanted to hear what Portishead would sound like melded with a shoegazer aesthetic?… It is absolutely, spell-bindingly brilliant…you are left mesmerised by the expansive and wide-reaching nature of the sounds BLL can create” - Boring Machines Disturbs Sleep
Beautiful Lunar Landscape’s music is constructed with a cartographer’s sense of detail and direction. The band’s songs have a natural dynamism, shifting between all-out bliss rock to haunting ambient pop, at times recalling the shimmering intensity of Ride or The Boo Radleys at their respective peaks, yet managing to transport the listener beyond the familiar.
Beautiful Lunar Landscape formed in October 2003 in Bordeaux, France. Since then, Ben Ling (vocals/synths), Benoit Paissard (bass), Manu Georg (drums), Laureline Roux-Eymery (vocals), Arnaud Sigonney (guitar), and Julien Sussat(guitar) have released two acclaimed EPs, toured England and France, and received extensive radio play on both sides of the Channel.
Beautiful Lunar Landscape’s Alone in the Dark Romantic Night EP is released through Hidden Shoal Recordings on the 4th of September. The four luscious tracks transport the listener across ink-black expanses reverberating with a wonderful sense of drama and mystery. This is twenty-first-century trip-rock.
