@eccavandal stays high, and stays home (we're not sure whose home, but it's someone's) with this week's rage Feature Video, ‘MOLLY’. We don't know about you, but this carpet feels amazing, and the wood-panneling pattern is almost as entrancing as Ecca's dance moves. Just remember to drink water.
What do you do with a few spare weeks between playing Fuji Rock in Japan and a European tour? Why, make a music video with mates of course! That’s exactly how Sri Lankan, South African-born, Naarm-raised artist Ecca Vandal played her cards earlier this year to create the clip for ‘MOLLY’. Tapping in long time collaborator
@kid_not (co-director for previous Ecca videos like ‘CRUISING TO SELF SOOTHE’ and ‘BLEED BUT NEVER DIE’), the team set to work developing the concept for another video with a similar vibe, but with just days to turn the project around.
To add pressure to the cooker, Ecca explains “we were also in the middle of packing up our entire apartment and putting everything into storage. We found this unrenovated MCM house up in Ballarat and hauled up there to shoot the video before heading back on the road, between putting everything in storage, planning and shooting this video all within two weeks, we couldn’t be prouder of the whole team.”
Speaking about the message behind ‘MOLLY’, Ecca says “there’s the surface meaning, the chaos, the high, that kind of bliss that comes from forgetting things for a while, from turning the volume down on the world. But underneath all that, there’s something quieter going on, the feeling of being cut down, sometimes broken into pieces, and then slowly finding your way back, getting up again, rebuilding yourself bit by bit.”
