Damon & Naomi return May 17 with False Beats And True Hearts (20/20/20). This “video” for album track “And You Are There” was “directed” by visual artist Chris Marker. We’ll let Naomi explain: “‘And You Are There’ is about the way time can compress when you are lost in a memory, something I have learned a lot about from Chris Marker’s work—his films (La Jetée, Sans Soleil), his writing (Immemory), his photographs. When the song was finished, I sent it to Chris with a note. Since his work had provided inspiration for the song, I wondered, ‘Might he in turn have a visual response to it?’ He sent back this image, with the note, ‘Dunno if it fits your pretty Proustian melancholy, but I thought it could … And thanks for linking me to music, the only real art for me as you know (cinema? you kiddin’ … ).” Watch the clip, er, image below, and check out the mix tape D&N made for MAGNET back in
