Former Def Jux legend and Boston MC Mr. Lif once again teams up with his collaborative partner, L’Orange, for “The Gentle End” video, which instantly transports the viewer into a dream world, and depicts an appreciation for the glorious alternate universe a pair of headphones can provide. Directed by Jon Webb, the video came with a statement in the press release:
“Alone in the evening, in public spaces, the mind wanders,” it reads. “Twilight dreams flicker through the mind’s eye and overlap our quotidian commutes. The final video from the duo’s recent album brings color and lighting choices that call to mind something Gasper Noe might have shot. The otherworldly feel is highlighted by actress Xinyi Zhu who dreams with eyes open while lost somewhere in time wearing a dookie gold chain, thin rimmed full moon spectacles, and high hipped denim shorts. The video is a magical ode to the quiet escapism headphones offer.”
The Nashville producer and now Mello Music Group rapper dropped their joint album, The Life & Death of Scenery, late in 2016. Watch the visual offering above.
