The Chain Gang Of 1974, an indietronica project of American musician and DJ Kamtin Mohager, has released a new song and video titled “Slow” yesterday.
Mohager gained the help of Tear for Fears frontman Curt Smith for the video.
Kamtin Mohager said of creating the video; “A day before we started shooting, one of the producers called me and brought up this wild idea of contacting Curt. A few hours later, I get a screenshot of the email conversation and see that Curt “loves the song.” He showed up on the second day of filming and did his part. For me, it was a very surreal moment because Tears For Fears have been such an important band to me. I remember being six years old and listening to my copy of “Songs From The Big Chair.” To see Curt singing one of my songs is something I will never forget.”
Director, Morgan Freed, said of his concept for shooting, “I wanted this video to showcase Kam as what he is, an artist telling a story. Kam performed ‘Slow’ the whole way through, coordinating with the background effortlessly and with the charm one doesn’t always get to see with a ton of cuts. I wanted to convey that there is beauty in simplicity and realness.”
Check out the video for the song below and pick it up on iTunes.
