Exitmusic drops new music video for 'Trumpets Fade' amid speculations of split
New York City's pop-rock duo Exitmusic just released the new music video for 'Trumpets Fade', the haunting, moody single off of their 2018 album 'The Recognitions'. Conceptualized, shot and directed by VOIID Studios with NPR Music, the music video features Aleksa Palladino drifting through ethereal landscapes - from her hauntingly lit bedroom to an autumn-touched forest, and floating listlessly in a pool of water, all the while chasing a fading memory from an old photograph.
Directors Danny Scales and Jacob Gossett explain, "At its core, the piece is about a unique facet of dealing with a loss; how you don’t only lose the person, but you also lose who you were in that particular configuration."
"It’s this oblique, secondary loss and you find yourself relating to this other version of yourself in different ways. The film is about various phases of that state – how uncanny and alienating it can feel to sense this person that you were from this new distance, about how we can long for and pursue, but also be troubled and haunted by that part of us that feels lost – how it can be both terrifying and liberating to disentangle those versions, how difficult and bittersweet it can be to merge them, and how sometimes, it simply doesn’t quite resolve," they add.
