“I got rug burn from walking on all fours for several hours,” says multi-instrumentalist Dorit Chrysler of crawling blindly through a Williamsburg loft when making today’s slowly enveloping music video to atmospheric new track “Avalanche.” It was filmed in Brooklyn by Danish artist Jesper Just and filmmaker Martin De Thurah, shortly after Hurricane Sandy had swept through New York, an environment Chrysler claims was a big influence on the feel of the video: “We made the place dishevelled, as if in the wake of some kind of unknown catastrophe.” The Austrian musician studied musicology in Vienna before moving to New York and collaborating with Strokes producer Gordon Raphael and Chicks on Speed among others, and sharing bills in her rock group Halcion with Echo and the Bunnymen, Marilyn Manson and Mercury Rev. In addition to her mastery of the theremin, she is in love with analog synthesizers such as the Moog Taurus bass pedal, which she will be taking to the Roskilde Festival in Denmark that starts next week. Chrysler wrote the pulsing “Avalanche,” which appears on new EP of the same name on Danish imprint In My Room, in the hinterland between the witching hour and dawn and today’s video was appropriately shot in one go from late afternoon until the wee hours. “It is about being on your own in this bubble, experiencing the avalanche of internal emotions while the rest of the city is sleeping,” she says. “Sometimes when you are very tired you tap into subconscious places that are usually guarded.”
