Video: O.Children, “Ruins”

March 16, 2010


Look, we can never be mad at O.Children's Bauhaus-ian guitar cyclones or vocalist Tobias O'Kandi's scorched-heart baritone. But with this visual for "Ruins," we find ourselves being fully immersed in their cold cave, waiting for the hypothermic delirium to set in. Whoever had the idea to film this in a freezing cold parking garage so O'Kandi's vocals would emit a steady steam has a vision. It's super melodramatic but not corny, hearkens back to a time when you could wear the nihilistic anguish on your face and in your video and nobody would make emo jokes. Good job dudes.
