Victoria-based glam/art-rocker Art d'Ecco just released a music video for his most recent single "Palm Slave."
The track — which was released March 9 — borrows significantly from the playbook of glam legends Roxy Music and Marc Bolan but with a modern twist, peppered throughout with heavily processed and manipulated saxophone and atonal electronic squeals before evolving into an ominous threat by the end.
In a press release, the singer described the song as "a cautionary tale about obsession, and how a misguided search for meaning and purpose may lead some to very dark places."
The video, directed by Brandon William Fletcher, is a throwback to the era of grainy, early '80s MTV, showing the singer as a floating head punctuated by stylized Tron-esque visuals of the other musicians.
Art d'Ecco is set to release a new album later this year. In the meantime, you can catch him live at Edmonton's Winterruption Festival and Calgary's Big Winter Classic on April 1 and 2, respectively.
