Wall Off the Earth, the quintet whose cover of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” went viral this year and earned them a record deal, are fiddling with time in their new video for “Red Hands.”
Shot in one take, the video shows the group members singing and playing instruments at different speeds.
“We shot it on a steady-cam and walked backward down the whole hallway with the band walking forward performing the out of order song toward the camera,” director Ellis Bahl said in a statement. “We only had enough supplies/daylight for 10 takes and finally got it on the last one. It was really scary, but the payoff was immense.”
“Red Hands” premiered on NPR’s All Songs Considered and is the first single from the group’s R.E.V.O. EP.
Walk Off the Earth’s cover of “Somebody That I Used to Know” (watch below) now has 138 million views on YouTube. The creative cover caught the attention of Columbia Records, which signed the band in February.
