Video: Kaki King – Pull Me Out Alive

The first single off for Dreaming Of Revenge is the least representative song of Kaki’s sound, but it’s probably the most accessible one for all indie-poppers.

Just so you know :

The video was made without film cameras — it consists of over 5,000 still photographs shot on Nikon D30s. There are no special effects; all of the light trails were created by hand, with up to eight individual “light animators” flashing LEDs and flashlights on and off over a long (8 second) shot exposure. The video was shot in NYC over five very cold, 16 hour days in January. Special thanks to Eddie & Doug at Chop Wood Carry Water, the talented crew, all the actors & extras, Rockwood Music Hall, Jamie Proctor, YouTube and especially all Kaki’s fans who came to NYC from as far away as Virginia.

Funny side note : My friend kris told me this when she first listened to the song : “pull me out alive – how f—ing tegan and sara is that?“. Well, it’s even more than you’d expected, because Sara is in the video (at1:37)!

The making of Dreaming Of Revenge

This is the video for the making of Air And Kilometers from Kaki King’s new album Dreaming Of Revenge [out on March 11.].

I love the way Kaki’s songs are so multi-layered that you can listen to them again and again for ever and when you think you’ve caught every little detail there is to notice, something new always comes up and it’s like one whole new way to experience the song.

People don’t make music like this nowadays. People do not make nerd music.That’s a shame, Kaks.

Here’s the album’s final track, 2 O’Clock:
