Here’s a new video for the song “Glowing Black” from local rockers Pale. The Edge-like chime of the guitars, Stephen Morris-esque high-hat hiss and four-on-the-floor kick-drum beat and cinematography are all very 1985, but that seems to be the hip retro year right now.
It’s a pretty catchy little song, with a Muse-y little bridge and some fine thump from the bass player, but I think videos should have more of a concept than “here’s the band filtered through some mildly trippy camera effects.” – John Nova Lomax
