Remember when CL implored you to go see breaking electro soundscape artists Hundred Waters at downtown Tampa's Rock The Park music series two years ago? Yeah, well a large portion of the rest of the country (and world) seems to have finally caught on to the Gainesville-based, Skrillex-approved outfit.
They've been featured on the BBC, adored by Pitchfork, and recent days have found NPR Music's Jacob Ganz obsessing over the collective, too. This morning he posted the band's new video for "Cavity," which will presumably be on Hundred Waters' sophomore LP (due May 27 via Skrilly's OWSLA imprint).
The three-and-a-half minute clip was helmed by award-winning American filmmaker Michael Langan ("Doxology," "Choros," plus some pretty neat commercials for Pepsi and Adult Swim) and finds Hundred Waters trolling very familiar but always enchanting sonic, and visual territory Frontwoman Nicole Miglas eerily coos and wails over the band's tribal, pulsating samples, and Langan paints an effects-laded, psychedelic menagerie of twinkling lights and desert landscapes.
Have a look at the clip below, then slap yourself in the head for not seeing them when you could, for free (they also played the Orpheum in Ybor City a few months after their Rock The Park appearance). Details on the new LP should be available via OWSLA soon.
