DOWNLOAD: Dimmer - Cold Water
You’re glad to see how many bands manage to make no-budget videos and still project some (usually scrappy) aspect of their personality. But it’s things like the new clip for Dimmer’s “Cold Water,” directed by Dylan Pharazyn and with 3D animation by the band’s drummer, Gary Sullivan, that remind you just how much can be done with the medium. Dimmer frontman Shayne Carter is a veteran hero of New Zealand’s postpunk ’80s, and his tune, which sounds a little like Radiohead if they loosened up and just wrote a rock song, accompanies the way-underwater adventure of a salvage diver who goes a bit too deep and falls into something heavier than the ocean. Think 2001 recast as a sea odyssey. And if you happen to be in NZ, check the band’s upcoming dates after the break.
