The San Franciscan synth-pop duo Cathedrals has had a good few weeks. In late February they dropped a self-titled EP, and capitalized on the hype with a series of buzzy sets at South by Southwest earlier this month. Now they’ve released a video for the dark, club-ready track “OOO AAA”.
“OOO AAA” fuses singer Brodie Jenkins’ gorgeous vocals with Johnny Hwin’s psychedelic guitar riffs, all while featuring a dense synth undercurrent. Nocturnal and moody, the “noir-inspired” video was partially filmed in Agape, a preserved historic mansion in San Francisco’s Mission district.
Rather ironic that one of the official videos of the 2015 YouTube Music Awards deals with the more subversive consequences of using social media, as directed by the Eric of Tim & Eric fame.
