Preview The Decemberists’ The Hazards of Love Visualized right now!
So, remember last month when we told you that The Decemberists’ most recent full-length, The Hazards of Love, was going to become a synchronized piece of animation for an upcoming performance at UCLA’s Royce Hall in Los Angeles on October 19th? Well, if you’re like us, you probably had no idea what to expect
Thankfully, The Decemberists have answered our questions by unveiling a trailer of what is now being referred to as Here Come the Waves: The Hazards of Love Visualized. As you’ll see, the video, a collaboration between the band and four filmmakers, Guilherme Marcondes, Julia Pott, Peter Sluszka and Santa Maria, is trippy, numbing, and downright beautiful. Perhaps “stunning” is the appropriate word choice here?
As mentioned, The Decemberists will perform the entire piece synchronized with the animation, as well as an additional second set of older and newer material at UCLA on October 19th. Incredibly, tickets are still available.
the visuals look amazing. its like watching a mini version of Across the Universe, without all the bad parts. It looks promising, and The Decemberists have pretty great music. I’ll have to get my psychedelic paraphernalia ready for this event.
