Now that we have this sorted out, it’s very clear to us that Seattle’s Versing are a noise-rock lite act reaching near-ubiquitous band-to-watch status across the web, and not a beloved experimental hip-hop troupe fronted by the guy from that Thomas Jefferson play or whatever. Today the seventh best -ing band is doubling down on their to-watch-ness with a new 360-degree interactive video courtesy of director Claire Buss.
In true slacker form, the clip for “Renew,” a brief grungy throwback blending the explorative riffs of J Mascis with Stephen Malkmus’ half-interested vocals, captures the real-life phenomena of awkwardly standing in the middle of a room, doing nothing but spinning in circles while everyone around you is trying to get shit done. Gulps get bigger, stacks of cardboard get taller, and people get nakeder. It’s a lot to keep track of—but somebody’s gotta do it.
10000 is out May 3 on Hardly Art.
