Wellington psych-rock trio The Nudge release new video for “Dark Arts” single 

The Nudge have released their brand new video forDark Arts, title track for the trio’s second album due for release in February 2017. The video, shot by The Renegade Peach Project, is the outcome of friends and like minded artists collaborating in one of the most enigmatic places in Aotearoa, Great Barrier Island. 

In 2016 NZ on Air awarded video funding for Dark Arts; a slow building, psychedelic and hypnotic track which starts off with a primal beat and slowly builds into a dark and dangerous cocktail of intoxicating alchemy. 

In their own words:

“Initially when we had thought of ideas and the images that we would use to portray the album’s vibe, we imagined an element of the ocean and large waves. This tied into the nature of the record; a sonic ride on soundwaves.. this thinking formed the basis of the video, it would be both on land and in water, and would need to be psychedelic and open to interpretation.” – Iraia Whakamoe

 The band would like to extend thanks to filmmakers Renegade Peach, who invited The Nudge to their whanau patch on the remote Island to film. The video captures glorious time lapse footage of the sky and sea in arguably  Aotearoa’s most scenic beach.
