You Today

As mentioned last time, you might recognize Martial Canterel as the project of Xeno & Oaklander's Sean McBride. His "You Today" video was shot by Xeno bandmate Liz Wendelbo. Box Motion, who worked with Gus Van Sant on his new film Restless, handled the editing and post production. The combination of icy minimal wave and a stark industrial landscape combine to create something especially lonesome, his own private Brooklyn, or whatever. That sensibility ties in nicely with the album's themes of yearning and the stated "exploration of the increasing difficulty in trying to connect with real people and real things as technology renders the material substance of bodies and objects ever more abstract and distant." The specificity of Wendelbo's description for her shoot's worth reading before you watch the clip.
