New Music – Palehound – Cushioned Caging

Want to see a video where people break things? Of course you do. Enjoy the mysterious video for Cushioned Caging below, and Palehound’s debut album Dry Food is out now on Heavenly Recordings.

Palehound has released their new video for “Cushioned Caging” today, from the band’s debut album, Dry Food (Heavenly Recordings; 4 March). Created by a team of high school students from the band’s hometown of Boston, the video is the result of a collaboration between Palehound leader Ellen Kempner and the Real to Reel Filmschool, which is part of the Boston arts non-profit Raw Art Works (RAW).

The film students picked the song, wrote the treatment, and did all the casting, direction and production. “The idea started with wanting to destroy things, so we worked our way backwards from there to come up with a story and reason to sledgehammer stuff,” says director Badger Antoniou. “It was pretty funny. We all had safety goggles and were hiding behind pieces of plexi-glass for the destruction scenes. Amazingly none of us lost an eye or limb, and even our camera came out okay!”
