You’re Not On The List & You’re Not In My Songs
So as I’ve mentioned before, my ideal job would be to direct music videos, and the real reason I’m posting about this band, Carpark North, and their track ‘Human’, is because of the video, directed by Martin De Thurah, who in my opinion, makes the best music videos in this day and age. De Thurah, who is from Denmark, has made amazing videos for the likes of Royksopp, The Futureheads, Fever Ray (Karin Dreijer Andersson of The Knife) as well as short films and commercials. His imagery is beautiful with Surrealist influences, abstract space and moody cinematography.
The song itself is actually pretty good. Carpark North is a band from Denmark, utilizing an electro rock sound. The name Carpark North was created from the electro and rock genres: ‘Carpark’ stands for car parks, edges, roughness, metal - the rock part, and ‘North’ stands for northern lights, stars ethereal electronics. So says Wikipedia. They’ve put out three full length albums and ‘Human’ is from their debut, back in 2003. I listened to some other tracks and I didn’t love them. Enjoy the video (which won a lot of awards).
