One of the reasons I have so much love for Gild the Mourn, is while they create intensely beautiful, fantastical, and atmospheric music, they are incredibly personable people with a wonderfully silly sense of humor. If you follow the band at all you'll know their antics are both entertaining and down to earth. Some goth bands portray themselves as eternal dilettantes, enigmatically dark and inscrutable, and I find that can quickly become exhausting. As a parent myself, I've learned the value of being goofy and letting yourself enjoy life.
So it follows, the production of this video was not short on fun (as you can see in some of their Instagram posts) Angel says, "To shoot in fast and slow motion we actually had to bounce down sped up and slowed down versions of the song to sync the video/audio currently, so there is some pretty funny raw footage of us performing at crazy speeds. We had to run the sped up version a number of times because the song was so fast it was hard to enunciate the words."
In general I'm very cautious as to whom I write about and what music I cover, and for me, Gild the Mourn is worth writing about. For more music you can check out their bandcamp, or follow the links bellow.
