With their upcoming album At Moment’s Edge landing September 1st on Sacred Bones, New York City band Lathe of Heaven have shared their new single and video ‘At Moment’s Edge’.

Directed by Emma Penrose and Zach Shorrosh, the gritty black and white visuals, which were shot on 16mm film, contain a surrealist look. The broken and collaged style clips match the tone of the coldwave meets post-punk music which is dark, as well as ethereal. There are shots of objects ranging from chess pieces to buildings layered on top of scenes which all contribute to the artistic yet haunting feel.

Touching on the video, director Emma Penrose wrote:

“Gage reached out to us asking if we wanted to make a music video for Lathe of Heaven and showed us maybe the most thought-out mood board I’ve ever seen, referencing Man Ray, Caravaggio, Marcel Duchamp as well as classic and contemporary science fiction. Inspired by the monochromatic imagery, we shot At Moment’s Edge entirely on 16mm black & white film & print stock and developed it by hand ourselves. We processed the 900’ of film at Mono No Aware using an eco friendly developer consisting of coffee, beer & vitamin C powder. The results turned out exactly as we’d hoped.”
