Band of brothers—Brothers In Law.

Band of brothers—Brothers In Law.

The next order of WWNBB collective business we have is news of Brothers in Law’s US tour happening all throughout this month of March (see details on the flyer below), and the world premiere of the Lorenzo Musto video for the band’s glorious anthem “Oh Sweet Song”. In our continued coverage of Giacomo Stolzini, Nicola Lampredi also of Be Forest), Andrea Guagneli, & Lorenzo Musto’s new album Raise; we meditate on one of the most epic, heaven quaking songs found in a cycle of awe-inspring songs.

Brothers in Law deliver the Lorenzo Musto video for “Oh Sweet Song” that works like an abstract & artistic take on the screen test form. Lorenzo’s camera moves at paces to match the roller-coaster movements of the song, utilizing FPS rates to measure the emotive qualities of both the song and the various expressive gestures from the actress featured in the video. While the chords and keyboard hooks ascend to celestial heights, Musto exhibits feelings of euphoria and elation that are executed in the most minimalist, yet effective assembly of interpretive presentation. Our protagonist in the video acts out the various feelings and emotive elements that Brothers in Law paint like sugar coated watercolors brushed against a dulcet audio canvas.

Brothers in Law shared with us the following words on the video for “Oh Sweet Song”:

The basic concept for the video is the transition from one dimension to another through the music. The picture goes along the song’s beat and intertwines with it until dissolving into it, and yet maintaining a focus on the relevance of the repetitive gestures of the actress.
