ON SET: BTS WITH NATIVE SUN ON “OEDIPUS RACE”

 

We tagged along with Native Sun on the shoot for the video of thier riveting single “Oedipus Race”.

 

A compelling statement and vital response representing the fractured America we live in. It tells the story and struggle of a disenfranchised minority through the eyes of the oppressor — pushed and undermined daily in our shameful, glorified “American Society”. NOW is the time to mobilize, educate, and fight the struggle! The video demonstrates the psychic catastrophe and uneasiness found within ourselves and our desire to expose it while still taming it — the human paradox. Filmed within a span of just a few hours, we were able to utilize surrealistic backdrops & realities intertwined with the intensity of our live chemistry to provide a stimulating visual accompaniment to a track with vital subject matter.

Hang out with the band below.
