NEW VIDEO: MICHNA – "Triple Chrome Dipped"

The video for Michna's "Triple Chrome Dipped" – the opening track from his excellent debut Magic Monday – is a collaboration between Michna and Philly-based video artist System D-128. The clip creates on odd but heartfelt contrast between the song's slick hip-hop strut and its accompanying imagery: nostalgic footage of Adrian Michna's coming-of-age in New York in the early `90s. Filmed entirely on a Hi8 analog camcorder purchased in 1989, "Triple Chrome Dipped" depicts flashes of Adrian Michna's youth from 1989 to 1995: the local pizza shop; the Metro North from Westchester through the Bronx and into Manhattan; skateboarding through Brooklyn; Michna's little brother staging toy-robot wars; band practice; doing donuts in high-school parking lots. Throughout the video, lo-fi computer graphics flit across the screen, giving the sequences a surreal, DayGlo mood to match the music.
