Chrystabell and David Lynch have shared a new video for ‘Two Lovers Kiss’, a track from their recently released album Cellophane Memories. Following the Lynch-directed clips for early singles ‘Sublime Eternal Love’ and ‘The Answers To The Questions’, the new visual was directed by Eden Tijerina. Watch it below.
Tijerina shared the following statement about the video:
Every video I make aims to articulate an emotion—a mix of beauty and melancholy that sticks with the audience. But if anyone could see it in the making- nude, wet, shivering … —they’d know it’s certainly not glamorous, but it never needs to be. As long as we get the shot. I’m my own worst critic, but we were blessed with ideal situations which led to amazing shots, all organic with diegetic lighting. When editing, I chose to leave the sprocket hole and other “imperfections” as an artistic statement about decay, the grassroots nature of the production, or the passage of time. I think of any defects in the film like a tear in the fabric of reality, a glimpse into the back rooms of the world, being a kid and holding mirrors to each other, or turning the camcorder connected to the TV back at the screen, accidentally glimpsing the infinite in those uncanny feedback loops and left with persistent unease that you have acquired an unsheddable curse. Anyway, If I was ever going to use a perfect shot of the full totality of a once-in-a-lifetime eclipse on Super 8 film, it would be for my dear friend Chrystabell and the legendary David Lynch.
Chrystabell added:
Director Eden Tijerina chose the understated majesty of rural Oregon for her hazy yet shimmering vision for the music video of “Two Lovers Kiss” to transpire. We collected unfurling moments of sunset worship, rising full moons, and night forest bathing. It seems that nature enjoys being in front of her lens. As do I. Undulating spasms of 8mm film add a bardic tension to the pastoral serenity. The ephemeral quality that permeates this video is something like the print of poetry fading on well read pages. Tijerina aligns moments fluttering at the edge of rapture with the enveloping soporific dark glimmer of the song, rife with quiet wonder and sensual melancholy.
