Welcome to the music video premiere for NIGHT BUS. A tale of endurance, of dark nights and knights in shining armor, of dames and jesters and angels, it might remind you of a fan-made edit for a feature film that doesn’t exist.

The song is by M LORE, and was released as part of their debut EP, NEW ME, on the experimental label Unguarded. Described by Parkett Channel as “truly new rhythm,” NIGHT BUS’ beat is sculpted from tumbling gravel. Its dramatic strings are woven from the voices of angels. Inspired by a narrowly avoided assault at a night bus stop, the song is a tool for catharsis and a prayer for liberation.

The video is by Helena Aleksandrova. She heard NIGHT BUS’ dark sound and took it to the dark ages. Forging historical costumes from cardboard, aluminum foil, old hockey gear, broken jewelry, etc., she created a cast of archetypical characters to illuminate the song’s tale. This tale is told in movie-trailer style fragments with Cindy Sherman style identity-play. In the end, the friends and the homies are the ones who answer our prayers.

In the spirit of our sacred holiday week, and of movie-magic trash-outfits, we encourage your best DIY RED CARPET (and/or) HALLOWEEN costumes at the premiere!
