Aural Aggravation

Oakland, California-based post-hardcore quartet Ex Everything – formed by current and former members of Kowloon Walled City, Early Graves, Mercy Ties, Blowupnihilist, Less Art, and more – present a video for “Detonation In The Public Sphere”. The song is the second single from the band’s debut album, Slow Change Will Pull Us Apart, which will be released 10th November via Neurot Recordings.

About the video the band says, “We selected ‘Detonation In The Public Sphere’ as our second single off Slow Change Will Pull Us Apart because it’s a fucking banger. Clocking in at ninety-three seconds, the song is a 203bpm sprint from start to finish. The video shoot was a grind for the band (thirty-five full song takes!), but we felt very confident with Bay Area cinematographer Ryan Castaneda behind the camera. With all that great footage, Wendy Leuthold and Andre Sanabria’s edit highlights the band’s explosiveness both live and on the record.

They continue, “’Detonation In The Public Sphere’ is written from the perspective of a person who HAS recognised their place in the machine of capitalist imperialism and the actions needed to change conditions for the better of humanity. We hope this song will move listeners to think about their place in that machine and then hit repeat to play it again.”

The video for ‘Detonation In The Public Sphere’ was directed by Ryan Castaneda with additional filming and DIT by Katie Grubbs, gaffer Tehan Davis, editor/colorist Wendy Leuthold, and editor/producer Andre Sanabria.
