New Weather share new video for ‘6EQUJ5’

New Weather - 6EQUJ5

Hot on the heels of their recently released eponymous debut album, Seattle based outfit New Weather have unveiled a befitting new video to accompany the song ‘6EQUJ5’, directed by visual artist Terry Chatkupt.
The track takes its name from a mysterious and anomalous radio signal picked up by the Big Ear Observatory in 1977, which became known as the “Wow!” signal. The signal was said to have come from an alien civilisation. According to the press release, “New Weather’s analog-synth music could be the soundtrack to this interstellar message’s journey across space, and part of their rendering of pre-apocalyptic visions includes a strong interest in life beyond Earth as we now know it – perhaps as the source of humanity, perhaps as its salvation, or perhaps both.”
Watch the video below.

No Science is the duo of Jukka Rintamäki and Johan Skugge, who met up in 2010 whilst composing the soundtrack for the video game Battlefield 3.

Inspired by film and art, and the works of Lars Von Triers Riget, David Lynch and Joakim Pirinen, “they explore the spiritual effects of dark, beat driven melodic music – beyond science”, as the press release describes.
