A budget of approximately zero dollars, zero crew, zero script, literally scraps of meat but a whoooole heap of effort have brought us this week's Wild One, ‘Goop’, from the dark imaginings of ‘Gong locals LSF.
Filmed, directed and colour graded by LSF’s frontman Blake Lauricella, ‘Goop’ is a coastal riff (music pun intended) on the classic serial killer tale. The horror theme ties the video back to the band’s new spooky, grungy album Haunted. “Our home in Wollongong is so linked to ‘surf rock’ culture, I always felt a bit alienated with the scene vs the look and sound we are going for”, says Blake. “So we decided to turn our backyard into an Australian coastal horror, taking locations that are renowned for their beauty and showing the audience their darker side.”
“We self produced and released our new album ‘Haunted’ and wanted to create something that fits into its world. The end line of ‘Goop’ states; 'There’s a part of me that’s missing, and it’s you' and that was originally meant to be something endearing, but I was watching the show ‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’ and it just clicked that that line in the right music video could become literal. That our killer is convinced that killing will fulfil the part of him that’s missing.”
Armed with a single camera, a light and a can-do attitude, the band got to work on capturing the music video for ‘Goop’ with only a vague idea of how the clip would end. Blake explains “a lot of the fun creating it came from egging each other on and coming up with ideas along the way, driving around looking for locations and even asking our local butcher for meat scraps that we ended up using in the finale.”
Theres a record in my lungs, that'll never be heard

I sung it out, my final aside ⏰
As with most of this album, ‘Something Something Monday’ started out with just a demo guitar and vocal recording making up the words as I went, most of them stayed and I’m pretty sure the take on the record is the first and last. It was originally meant to be just an acoustic track but we turned the ending into a bit of a dark headphone psych experience.
after 3 seperate drum recording rooms to try and nail a psychedelic / roomy albini esque drum sound we ended up with this ✨ recorded at @thebrainstudios
