Earlier this week via Ad Hoc, Brooklyn kraut/drone duo Mountains released a video for the track “Living Lens,” from their upcoming album Centralia, out January 22 on Thrill Jockey. The video, directed by Koen Holtkamp of Mountains, features backwards footage of flickers of flames and sparks licking the ether, providing a calm backdrop to the gentle guitar and fluid synths.
