Respostas Fáceis

Eu gosto de (projectos que não têm definição. Os These Are Powers são um deles. Quem os conhece já sabe que eles são um trio com pés assentes em duas cidades: Nova Iorque (Brooklyn) e Chicago. Eles são urbanos mas tribais. Misturam casiotones com canas, rituais ancestrais com a urbanidade global. São punk que dá para dançar e são pop que dá para "rockar". Os concertos deles garantem a insanidade ao ser mais são à face do planeta ou "your money back".

Do seu disco "All Aboard Future", há o vídeo "Easy Answers", realizado por Jacqueline Castel.



Acho interessante a explicação do vídeo cedida pela editora:

"The video for These Are Powers song Easy Answers was jointly inspired by the annual Ghost Festival held every August in China and the Chinese folkloric tradition of burning joss paper after the death of a relative or loved one. Joss paper has long been burned ceremoniously as an offering to the dead, representing all of the worldly goods that spirits may desire in the afterlife, including intricately detailed miniature paper replicas of mansions, BMW convertibles, laptop computers, karaoke VCRs, and large denomination hell bank notes or ghost money. Once burned, these items are believed to join the deceased loved ones in heaven, and for lost spirits who still roam the land of the living, small paper boats and lanterns are bought and released, which signifies giving direction to these restless ancestors."
