Louise Distras release new music video for ‘Land of Dope and Glory’
LOUISE DISTRAS has released a brand new music video!
The video, for the track Land of Dope and Glory, is taken from her upcoming second album, which is set to be released later this year. The album was recorded in Oakland California with Ross Petersen (BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, GOO GOO DOLLS, THE VAMPS) and will be the follow up to her 2015 debut Dreams from the Factory Floor. Speaking about the video, Louise says, “the music video is an intense and compelling conceptual performance piece directed by Lewis Cater. It’s inspired by Black Mirror, and looks like Crass joined forces with Barbie to create a dystopian TV channel! The video is a reflection of a world where G.O.D (gold, oil, drugs) is money. It’s a metaphor for propaganda strategies that major corporations use to encourage our desire for consumer goods, services and ideas by using suggestive images and captions to influence us emotionally. It feels like this constant manipulation that we as people face on a daily basis from faceless companies and government stands against everything we value as human beings which is peace, love and understanding.”
