Swearin’ have released a pair of music videos for “Grow Into a Ghost” and “Future Hell” off their new album Fall Into the Sun, out now through Merge Records.
To fully appreciate the videos, you’ve got to have a pair of 3D glasses handy. If you preordered Fall Into the Sun, you’re in luck, because the album comes with a pair. Otherwise, it’s time to go digging.
“Future Hell” is presented in the classic 3D format, mildly headache-inducing layered tints of red and blue overlaying footage of the band performing onstage. “Grow Into a Ghost” makes things a little more interesting: The video is shot in “Illusion-O,” a technique developed in the ‘60s by filmmaker William Castle and only used in his film 13 Ghosts. The technique makes use of 3D glasses by switching between tints so that the viewer can see “secret images” by looking through either the red or blue lens.
