Experimental British duo Lovechilde reveal the hyperreal video for “Séance For Saint Sebastian,” directed by Matthew Reed, aka Beckton Alp Cinema, in collaboration with the band’s Thomas Eliot Dodd (who is accompanied in the two-piece by James Dashwood). “It’s the vision of a user interface of a future operating software in a transhuman era where the spirits of the dead can be contacted through the internet,” say the duo, prophesying a vision of the future ahead of their debut record Doorway To The Cesspit. Check out Reed’s series of music videos for producer Becoming Real, the Bella Union-signed My Sad Captains and dubstep dons, Dusk & Blackdown.
