A Spaghetti Mash…Kleptones – Exit by Reborn Identity (Videotones)
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010Howdy pardner! Here’s the latest Videotones mash, ‘Exit’ from the Kleptones Downtime album. Reborn Identity has given the mash given a spaghetti feel (hmm isn’t that actually gnocchi?
)
Be prepared for a brooding, tense and downbeat Western epic facing down the barrel of a gun with Beck, John Mayall, Aesop Rock, Henry Fonda, Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson amongst many.
There seems to be a desert theme (rather than dessert, that would be silly) developing amongst the Downtime bootlegs, inspired by Reborn’s excellent Untired mash, also available at this very channel – watch this space for more dusty hot action!
This is what Reborn Identity said about this video mash:
“With “Exit”, The Kleptones take a bluesy song about returning home and inject it with all the tension of a Western showdown. The words “I’ll be way up in the sky” take on a gloomier, more fatalistic edge.
This video incorporates footage from “One Upon A Time In The West” (1968), “A Fistful of Dollars” (1964), “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly” (1966) and “Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid” (1973).”
BTW we’re still looking for contributors to turn the rest of the Uptime / Downtime album into video – so give us as shout or email Eric at eric@kleptones.com if you’re interested.
