dustbug • why if all [official music video]

Official videoclip for 'why if all' by Ghent based sound architect dustbug.
Encompassing the entirety of Side A, “why if all” is a 24-minute journey that begins with a low, rumbling drone, accented with skittering flourishes like coldly crackling electricity that are given counterpoint by synths that sound like the efforts of a distant, detached world trying to fight through the haze to offer glimpses of light and sensations of warmth. However, once those latter elements break through, subtle shifts in tone divulge a creeping corruption that results in their brightness becoming consumed by the inherent tenebrosity of the dominant soundscape.
But the composition holds more in its shadowy hands than suggested at first glance. As it draws toward its midpoint, it forms into a layered, rippling terrain that sounds like an unholy union of spacey drone, shimmering psych guitars, arcane mysticism, and an Angelo Badalamenti score for a David Lynch film. These seemingly disparate yet cooperative elements come together to cascade through the back half with an unexpected complexity that never reveals itself until suddenly it’s surrounding you.
