May by Led Er Est

For this episode, director Jared Eberhardt and editor Forrest Borie worked with New York-based video artists Brendan Harman and Aurora Halal to create a kaleidoscopic inner world of Dadaist non-sequiturs and Tron-esque dreamscapes. For maximum listening pleasure, we recommend playing these live tracks through a massive PA, preferably with a few thousand close friends as dawn breaks across an open field. Enjoy.

Led Er Est was formed in early 2007 by Samuel Kklovenhoof and Shawn O’Sullivan. Drawing from the dire, aggressive textures of first-wave industrial music, the craftsmanship and ambiance of cold wave and post-punk, and the primal kinetics of old school house and techno, the project was initially an outlet for song fragments and delirious baubles. As their sound took a more structured turn, Owen Stokes was enlisted to bring an additional synth to the minimal electronic arsenal. The New York 3-piece, as reclusive as the snow leopard, was captured for this episode while on their first tour down the west coast. Thanks, gentlemen.
