Video/Freeload: Zach Hill, “Dark Art”

story THE FADER

On the 4th of July we totally expected loudspeaker crescendos and many layers of cymbal clashes and some oohs and ahh’s, but all we got were those pitiful little yellow “pfffft” things that climb halfway into the sky and then drop back down. Lame! We were left wondering, Where are we going to get our crashing explosions?!?! And here on this cosmically momentous day of 8-8-08, our wondering ends because this new track off Zach Hill’s (of Hella) solo album has all of the aforementioned good stuff. Even the vocals have a scratchy quality like sparks are shooting from the corners of his mouth. As a bonus, we have the video for “Dark Art” which features a gothy dude running and nothing else.
