PREMIERE: Get Away From the Awful People in Your Life in Screature's New Video for "100 Lines"

Slightly NSFW, but totally sick.

Have you ever started to do something, realized right in the moment that you were going to probably think about what you just did for a really long time? It's a pretty haunting feeling, to not be able to let go of that moment in your head no matter how hard you try to distract yourself. Even when you think you're free of the regret or guilt, a stray moment at night will bring you right back to that horrible feeling in your bones about what a dumb asshole you are or whatever. Each step of whatever the hell you did becomes comitted to memory; you can see yourself going in reverse and any movement or gesture you did while trying to get away is now completely ingrained inside of you. It's a pretty similar feeling to what's happening in Screature's new video for "100 Lines."

Screature is a post-punky band out of Sacramento, CA that play haunting and psyched out rock music. In "100 Lines," the band powers up a kind of track you might be able to catch an earful of when surfing channels at 2AM and breezing past the old-school sci-fi movie marathon. The video isn't anywhere as campy as that, as we follow a naked guy on a motorcycle making some kind of escape, except everything is chronologically reversed. It's a pretty beautiful video, and almost unbelievably it was shot with an iPhone 5s with a special anthropomorphic lens attachment, directed by Karlos Rene Ayala and Tyler Kinney. Some of the moments might be slightly funny or kind of insane, but when the video comes to completion in showing where the key actor of the video started, one is left with a whole list of interpretations you can probably make of what happened. No matter what you come to, it will still hit you in the gut, making the video in an entirely different context than what you were expecting.
