BEARS DEN – ” Elysium “
Posted: August 22, 2014 in MUSICTags: Bears Den, Communion Records, Folk Rock
Communion band Bears Den, and the song ‘Elysium’ was one of those tracks that became very personal to me very quickly. It made me think about my younger brothers and their transition from kids to adulthood — how they are carving out their individuality and quickly leaving youth, innocence, and wide eyes behind. “Brother don’t grow up…. /Just hope that age does not erase all that you’ve seen/Don’t let bitterness become you/Your only hopes are within you.” With the video, I wanted to capture elements of that transitional experience in my brother, Turner’s, life. I wanted to film him and his real friends doing actual things that they normally do. I wanted to document the actions and emotions of people at this age — the highs, the lows, the noteworthy and the mundane. I wanted to get inside what it feels like to be a teenager today. On a personal level, I wanted to freeze the last remnants of youth still left in my brother — to record him in this tender, fleeting age of early college years.

the Quiet Hounds from Muscle Shoals Atlanta and the song “Young Clover” which has a simplistic wonderful charm about the song, bending and twisting melodies ranging from modern power pop and indie rock from this supergroup of local musicians from the Atlanta Music scene, obscuring their identities with animal masks, with a sound perhaps rooted in the past with the Civil War a recurring theme in their songs
