"Revelation" is the first single by new art rock band The Moon Is No Door, whose debut album Tiny Moment is out August 26, 2022 on L’ST records. Based on the poems of New Zealand-British author Katherine Mansfield, like much of the album, “Revelation” is a tightrope of tension, with enchanting piano harmonies juxtaposed against raw saxophone, guitar and vocal sounds. Lyrically, the track focuses on the absurdity of human life, which is expressed in natural wonders and catastrophes on the one hand and in human atrocities on the other.
Videostatic was saddened to learn of the recent passing of cinematographer and video veteran Tom Richmond, who's DP credits range from the cult film Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist to the classic Pearl Jam "Jeremy" music video, plus an impactful hand in the founding and development of leading indie label Hopeless Records.
Condolences to his friends, colleagues and family.
